If you can quote RFCs to 'em, they should pay a bit more attention, tho 
it may be that you'll need to request "tier two" or whatever, as is 
sometimes the case with ISPs.  Back when Cox still had news at least, 
"tier three" was the actual engineers, but you never called them; they 
called you if by some luck the ticket somehow got thru to that level.

Thanks.  Yes.  With your tracing, it should indeed be reasonable to have 
pan's code work around this.
