I am jammin'. Thanks to all who commented.
The issue was the user id given me allowed only a connection
the
the secure server for registering a real user id. Only took
five calls to tech
supprot until someone recognized the problem. I broke down and
tried it in
windows and had the same result so I knew it was not a linux
issue.
One very interesting thing is that there is NOT an ipaddress on
eth0 using
pppoe. this is what led me down the pump vs dhcp path to begin
with. BTW I had
found a post spelling out the /sbin/ifup changes very similar
to what was posted
here on a discussion for @home.
I do have dhcpcd doing the dhcp thing but I will probably try
pump as well so
things are less likely to break during an upgrade.
for the benefit of future archive surfers. here is what the
config looks like
once working on my machine.

Next is to get all this working on my new firewall box and set
up the network.
BTW the ssh/vpn setup I was using under the dialup(gordon's)
works like a champ.
