As improbable as it sounds, I've seen weirder. Had a customer once trying
to ftp over a Frame cloud. The could do a "put" but not a "get." It
actually turned out to be an issue with one of their switches. With the
telco, anything is possible.

Yes, I tried that too. What you described - I also had routing issues
(first packet would go, all others would fail) in 12.0(3), however I
didn't have problems with pinging directly connected devices from the
router. Could DS3 cross-connect provider (it's also an ISP) somehow
interfere by mistake with IP protocol? If yes, how can I catch it ?
