Very true.  Swbell uses PPPoE with DHCP for their DSL "dialup"
customers.  If she has the same configuration (Efficient 5260 DLS
Modem and Enternet 300 dialer software), the PPPoE might be preventing
the Nortel ipsec client from working.  The Enternet 300 software does
support the Nortel client [1], but then again it could just be a
configuration setting in the dialer software.
