[plug] Dial-up server

[Kai]

Sorright, got that problem fixed, but thanks for the input !!

Now the only problem is when I dial in to the server I can ping the server,
but,  I can't surf past it. All routing is as it should be (just to test the
dial-in works I hooked up a laptop to a phone plug in the same room as the
server, dialled into the server and it worked fine, surfing...email, no
worries - the server is attatched via ethernet to the internet) but for some
reason when I dial in from outside of work, I can't surf anywhere and
telnetting to the server is extremely slow.
