Just to let you know, the problem has finally been located - a misplaced 
rate limit was in effect, which had the effect of limiting new connections 
from us to the net. A misunderstanding on my part, pointing out but Tom 
on the shorewall list. 

I'm happy to report the old PPro200 is back in service (for now) happily 
running along - it's passed about 1Gb in the past 40 minutes without 
breaking a sweat, and is nice and quick. (a new server is still in the works 
though...)

Thanks!
