I'll check the iptable counters for clues first - that sounds useful, 
and give the FORWARD a go, but I don't think I've got to that point 
yet. Modem and ppp is still off while testing.

What's a 'scrod configuration'? I looked on google, and all I got was 
scrod pudding, braised scrod and broiled scrod :)

Presumably a refernece to 'cooked', 'burnt to a crisp', 'toasted' and 
other descriptive terms for 'stuffed'?
