Frank,

I connect to my RedHat 8.0 server at school from my Fedora Core 3 server 
at home using pptp, modprobe ppp-compress-18, and route add -net 
172.16.16.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev ppp1.  Open the firewall 
(FireStarter for outgoing traffic on ppp1), pop up one of my beloved 
"invisible" Eterms (transparent, title-less, scroll-less, frame-less) 
floating ethereally above my stark FluxBox WM, and but right into my 
school server on its internal IP.  In GKrellM I see the appearance of 
PPP1 in addition to the existing PPP0 when I run pptp and see the 
bi-directional traffic in both windows as I work to work and work to play.

Sorry, I have no ideas on solving your UB problem which may be quite 
unrelated to what I related above but everything is relative...

Frank
