To bring some closure to the question of working with
gtei.net-provisioning over xDSL...

In the last episode a misconfiguration at gtei.net resulted in unexpected
leases and questions about how to lease addresses in the (at that time
unknown) netblk.

Since then GTE finally correctly mapped the dsl adapter it provided
into their switch.  Now it assigns a proper set of gateway and router
addresses at the bottom of a /27.  That's the good part.

The bad part is that it doesn't really route properly to things at my
end (also in the /27) other than for thse two machines.  It half
heartedly arps for the other addresses in my network; it will only arp
if either the internal machine sent a packet across it recently or an
external box pings the address.  It's very weird, the tech guy I spoke
to claims to have heard something about it, it sounds like a stupid
problem, I don't like having to run a ping -i 60 to the outside on
those other boxes to keep their arper running, (overlong sentences can
be troublesome),  would love to find a solution (to both problems)
