I'm running 2.2.2 on two machines and connecting them via user mode PPP.

A ppp session running with -alias can connect to a local ISP and
everything works great.

When I dial into my machine in my office instead, everything works
well, except netscape 4.03b8.  (I've tried both the freebsd 4.03b8, and
linux 4.03release.)

I can telnet to the http servers and 'GET /'. I can ftp.  The only
things that happens is that Netscape hangs 'waiting for reply' and
eventually says 'no data'.

I downloaded chimera and it worked correctly.

I'm running the PPP included with 2.2.2.  I've tried the 
ftp.freebsd.org/~brian version however I get:

Sep 23 12:37:45 bls2 ppp[4238]: Phase: Using interface: tun0
Sep 23 12:37:45 bls2 ppp[4238]: Phase: Listening at port 3000.
Sep 23 12:37:46 bls2 ppp[4238]: Phase: PPP Started.
Sep 23 12:37:46 bls2 ppp[4238]: Phase: Packet mode enabled
Sep 23 12:37:46 bls2 ppp[4238]: Alert: Exception detected.
Sep 23 12:37:46 bls2 ppp[4238]: Phase: PPP Terminated (done).

The exact same config works with the 2.2.2 included user mode PPP.

Any ideas what is going one?
