(chuckle) Obviously.  But as a test, and to be sure everything was absolutely
"clean," I set ipf.conf to:

        pass in from any to any
        pass out from any to any

and rebooted.  Nothing changed, port 80 was still not accessible from the
internet (ppp0), but was fine from the lan (ne0).  I'm totally confused.
