Hi Nick,

No, not on PPPOE or PPP.   When I try to telnet to port 80 in from the
outside, I don't get anything.  The packets get forwarded to the right
port on the right server, but Apache isn't picking up the phone at
all.

Do you have other ideas I might be able to try?  I'm really stumped on this!

Thanks!
Pete
