I'm not even trying, at this stage, to ping from 203.25.143.101 (which
is IP masqueraded), I am just trying to ping from the gateway.  You
may well be right though, that its outgoing packets are bearing the
wrong IP address in its header... but why would this be so, given that
I have other dial-up connections to other ISPs with identical settings
(except for phone number and PAP login/password) that work fine? 
Thanks for the tips so far but I'm still at a loss with this.
