I did this while connecting with a WindowsXP machine using the proprietary
software tools supplied by the provider.  The Windows machine succeeded
in connecting to the Internet.

I now have a huge 6MB file of tcpdump output, but I don't know how to use it.
Even tcpdumbp -r yields a file that is 280KB.  Are there some keywords that
I can grep on to find the necessary information to get NetBSD to connect?

Thanks much.
