That will be interesting to try.  Line 150 or so of your paste shows
that the peer and the host are in agreement over ms-wins values
(10.11.12.{13,14}), then suddenly the peer changes it's mind at line
196 and proposes 127.0.0.1.  Presumably the change is due to the modem
reaching the back end servers.

The lies beforehand occur for me with a modem in a faraday cage, with
a latency consistent with being locally generated by the CPU in the
device.

p.s. my name looks like James Carlson, but I'm James Cameron.  I've
started to think I should mention that when I join in on a thread
involving James.  ;-)
