I found one anomaly that may explain the problem. On my
dialer I use ppp, but the entries for IP address and Destination IP
address are and have always been blank. But now 'help' tells me
that this can be only on slip but not on ppp. My interpretation is
that until recently verizon filled out these entries with ppp as well,
but that the requirement was changed recently. I will try to get
in touch with verizon to find out the proper values.
