Ok, I'll try that tomorrow then. Perhaps the varying cruft levels in 
ed(4) vs xl(4), or ISA vs PCI architecture, will help. :)

Well, I certainly can't get around needing NAT. Would it really add 
that much overhead in processing? I only have three active machines 
on the private network, though I do have 10 port forwarding rules as 
well.

ppp is a busy little process on this machine, but it's not eating 
that much CPU percentage wise (maybe 5-10% during peak bandwidth 
usage).

I do download a bit. :)
