Ok.. a while back I posted a querry about not being able to get mail
from some sites.  Turned out to be a SLIP problem and moving to PPP
started the mail flowing again..

except for .... well .... now only some sites can't get ANYTHING
through at all.  No matter what port I open to yahoo.com, I get an
open socket but absolutely no data passes through.  Seems to be only
with yahoo.com and csicop.org right now, but I don't know how many
others are out there.

Has anyone had this before?  is it something with the provider's 
terminal server?  I've disabled all compression to no avail..  Even
compiled the -current ppp source to no avail...

Heeeeeellllpppp!!!!
