Bill I think I found the problem. My neighbor is a loopback interface(I
thought you should use loopbacks to avoid flaps?!?).

Once I moved the neighbor statement from using the loopback to the Serial0,
BGP found the remote and is working fine.

I thought you should use point neighbors to loopbacks on remote routers for
stability? Is this not true ? I could ping it, I could telnet to it, I tried
with/without sync, etc.

Looking at Caslow p.466 he mentions I should have looked at the
update-source option in the neigbor command. I bet this is the problem.
Maybe I'll repro this tomorrow as I'm tired tonight - jason
