As previously mentioned, the problem seemed to solve itself when Verizon 
service was restored and I rebooted the machine.  Before, that happened, 
neither the lan nor ppp worked on either card.  I find it strange, based 
on my personal Linux experience, that rebooting, a la MS OSes, would in 
and of itself fix things.  I also find it strange that the inability to 
make a pppoe connection on eth0 (as I now have identified it) would 
knock out eth1's ability to connect to the lan.  I would think that they 
are totally independent circumstances, or would IP forwarding have 
something to do with it?
