This could be part of the problem. I think this is the class b ip address
you can use *if* you are not on the net. What is the address you get
from your isp? Do you have a dedicated address? You will have to set up
your machine to be that address for purposes of connecting to the net.
Someone else will have to help you if you get assigned an address every
time you connect. I have a class c address here, and I do my own dns.
Is your domain name of huntel.com registered? Does your isp do dns
primary for your site? What is your host name? What if I did a traceroute
to your host.huntel.com? Would your isp have it set up there to point
to the ip they assigned you on a permanent basis? :)
I will send you a copy of my hosts file, and some ppp stuff, as attachments
in another email.
Maybe we will hear from someone else who is doing a similar setup.

So do I, I just use aliases for ls, chdir, rmdir, rm, mv, etc....

It's not really that hard to do. You just add
pseudo-device ppp 1
to your configuration file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf . You are probably
using GENERIC, so just edit it and add that line. As root, do
/usr/sbin/config GENERIC
Then follow the instructions that pop up on the screen. cd to the
compile dir, make it.
cd ../../compile/GENERIC
make depend
make
make install
and you are done!
