I have specified ppp0 as the interface to use but still no-go.  (I
would have thought traceroute would consult the routing table to
decide which interface to use for a specified host.)  Interestingly,
when I ping (eg. ping -f) ifconfig shows the counter of packets
transmitted from the ppp0 interface to increase, so perhaps it is not
an (outgoing) routing problem after all.  Perhaps the ISP doesn't know
how to send packets back to me.  But why on earth not?  I can use the
same account on the same ISP from my Windoze machine with no problems.
 Gah, how annoying.
