Its a Zyxel P660. Yes it has native Ping, but without the PPPoA actually 
established I don't think ping helps all that much as the router hasn't 
even got an IP address. The authentication never really completes so the 
PPPoA never comes up.

I have used a ethernet router firewall to get them reconnected to the 
internet via a long cat 5 cable through to the office of an adjacent 
business who very kindly has allowed them to piggy back on their 
broadband for a short while. So I can get VPN'd in via there. Here is 
the log for what its worth - if you speak Zyxel

The ISP are sending out a new pre-configured router tomorrow. I don't 
know what good that will do, because I took another Zyxel P660 there 
today and it didn't get any further than the existing one that log file 
is from.

I feel an new ISP coming on.
