Hi,
I'm connecting to one ISP (T-Online) via isdn/ipppd, which
seems to work fine. But when I try to go to my other ISP (where
my mail is) I get the seemingly contradictory result that I can
ping it just fine, but when I try to telnet to it, it says "no
route to host". I can think of no explanation for this (and
certainly no fix. Here's the evidence:

I have a good default route (ping has no trouble). Is someone blocking
me (if so, why doesn't it say that.) Any plausible explanation would be
welcome, a solution for it would be fabulous :-)
Thanks - Ed
