Woops.  Sorry, I meant to say that 34 is the local address of 
the slip interface.

203.x.y.48/28  203.x.y.49 UGc   sl1
203.x.y.49     203.x.y.34 UH    sl1
203.s.t        203.x.y.49 UGc   sl1

The problem is not occurring right at the moment, so I can't see if it 
varies the routing table.  I'll put a watcher program on 
/var/log/messages to do a netstat -rn when it sees the arpresolve messages.

Ethernet IP address is 203.29.224.17.  Most ppp and slip interfaces use 
203.2.144.1 as the local IP address, including other CSLIP interfaces 
which have been breaking.  I have some 'numbered interface' links and 
some 'unnumbered interface links'.

A few logic data points for you:
 Type                        Problem observed
CSLIP links                   yes
cslip -> remote net           yes
cslip -> w/o remote net       no
cslip -> rem net, numbered    yes
cslip -> rem net, unnumbered  yes
ppp links                     no
ppp -> remote net             no
ppp -> w/o remote net         no
ppp -> remote net, numbered   no
ppp ->  rem net, unnumbered   no

Note that if I did not have an example of any of the above, I would have 
put n/a.

Thanks,

Danny
