Steve's right.  Apple have acknowledged that OT is broken and will
be releasing a fix RSN -- look for it about December -- to all the
normal Internet sites, dealers, and eWorld.  If OT works for you
without too much hassle, use it, otherwise revert to MacTCP.

Don't ask me what's wrong or for precise details on the fix date.
I don't know -- Steve has obviously more technical info than I do.

There's a rumour (unrelated to the above admission that OT is broken)
that the next version of OT will include PPP support, making MacPPP
obsolete.  That's *rumour*.

Simon.
