Try to traceroute to him if you can. If you can check the default route
back to your IP address. If you cannot... Make sure that a summerization
of the IP address for the PM4 is being broadcasted by OSPF or RIP ( God
Help You!!!) {DOUBTFUL THIS IS PROBLEM IF OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE WORKING}

Let's see if this is working when you dial in... then the problem is
probably on the customer side inbetween the chair and the Keyboard....
Their is a lot of different setting possiblities I guess we need to know
a little bit more about the problem. Now I have also seen where a 16 bit
dialer program was effecting some DNS entry, but again that was with a
customer running 3.x.x
