VERY interesting. How the heck is that possible? As Toni explained, EPPPD's
bug is that in an ARP reply, it leaves the MAC address as it was in the
request; then Kermit drops that packet because it has its own MAC. How can
this depend on the ISP?

Does it say "cannot ARP" or somesuch?

If you want, I can mail you a nice set of mappings.

Then it might be a setup problem. What does Kermit report? Do any other apps
work over that connection? What happens if you don't use nameservers, and
specify the telnet host's IP instead? Does "show net" report reasonable values
after you try to amke a connection (i.e. was bootp successful)?
