I had to reconfigure my firewall machine for DHCP, in order to connect 
to the new ATT network.  I'm running debian sparc on it, so the script 
files are slightly different from Red Hat.  I ran the pump command 
similar to below, but it only negotiated a lease for about three 
minutes, and wouldn't connect again after that.

I had to modify my /etc/network/interfaces file as follows:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
    hostname 12.242.19.34

and my pump.conf:
domainsearch "attbi.com"
retries 3

device eth0 {
}

I am not specifying "nodns" because I want dhcp to write a 
new /etc/resolv.conf file.

After these mods, I had to reboot -- simply running pump didn't work. 
I'm up and running now, so I hope this helps some of you.
