SUCCESS!

This works!

I simulate the ISP dropping connection by unplugging the
incoming cable to the DSL modem, then waiting a couple
of minutes until `ip addr show dev ppp0' no longer has
an "inet" line with the extern IP. Plug the cable back in,
then shortly the ip command will show a new 'inet',
then check 'ipmasq portfw -nl` to see if the port fw IP
has changed also.

Many thanks to Ewald, Eric & David for helping to
resolve this issue.

I love the Net! <smile>
