The problem is not that PoBoxes - cside is unreliable. It is that this pair 
of nodes NEVER succeed in a transfer. They actually connect and handshake to 
establish a connection and then fail to transfer packets. Since cside can 
connect to all the other nodes it tries (when they are up) and that PoBoxes 
shows the same behaviour with 3 nodes points to the problem being at the 
PoBoxes end.

Nick has been looking at logs from both cside and PoBoxes, but his time is 
rather occupied with other stuff at the moment I think.
