Thanks to the efforts of several contributors here I've got my BSD box
connecting & staying online apparently permanently now ..... browsers
& email clients work from LAN boxes and I can tracert from Win98 LAN
machines to outside IP addresses.

I've still got what I believe is a routing problem thats stopping ICQ
connecting

and I figure thats possibly related to an inability to tracert names from
LAN boxes

I'd appreciate any comments on the results of a netstat -nr

203.3.126.128 is local network address (uses 255.255.255.248 netmask)
203.3.126.129 is address of FreeBSD (local gateway) box ethernet & ppp
interfaces
203.3.126.133 is address of one of the Win98 boxes I want to run ICQ on

The "203.3.126.129         0:a0:c9:21:12:48        UHLW      lo0" line seems
to suggest it is binding the IP address of the gateway box ethernet
interface to the loopback device ..... however I don't know if running
"route delete ........." is the right way to remove it, and if thats all I
need to do to get stuff going where it should go.  I figure I need to put
something in /etc/rc.conf so the "bad' entry doesn't come back when i
re-boot but I'm not sufficiently up with this stuff to know what I can do
safely.
