Occasionally my dialup works, but no connections can be established. I suspected the pseudo DNS server, but can't think of any way it could do this. When this has happened I later found that medusa was also a bit strange; it would allow FTP, but not HTTP; a bit weird.

by default start_medusa.py creates a DNS resolver pointing at the localhost. On a dialup connection you should change the '127.0.0.1' to point to your ISP's resolver.

You can also just disable the resolving feature (you'll get IP numbers in your log). It should be possible to change the line

rs = resolver.caching_resolver ('127.0.0.1')

to read

rs = None

This affects the http and ftp servers, and is only used for logging, not for authentication.
