GTE bumped me up to "2nd-level DSL support" on Monday and Alex from that
section called me this afternoon. They can watch the packets ("sniffer
enabled") on a customer's DSL line, and Alex saw the following:

-- With my TCP/IP Configuration for "Network" set to "Manual", I send
one packet during bootup.

-- When I switch from "Manual" to "DHCP" and reboot, I send one packet
during bootup and GTE DSL responds with one packet.

The DHCP boot sequence packets match what should happen during a bootup
with DHCP enabled (see RFC 2131). Further, since my machine does send a
packet that's seen at GTE, my NIC card and everything on the central
office side of it are apparently working.

But I still get the "DHCP client did not receive parameters" bootup
error message from DHCPSTRT.EXE, indicating my OS/2 software didn't see
the packet sent by GTE and thus I have something misconfigured. I'll
keep playing with it. Any additional suggestions greatly appreciated.
:)
