I get...

   almond# arp -s tinman 00:10:4b:a5:ba:5b pub
   cannot intuit interface index and type for tinman
   almond# arp -s 192.168.3.129 00:10:4b:a5:ba:5b pub
   cannot intuit interface index and type for 192.168.3.129

Until recently I was fetching it over a V.34 analogue modem,
so 115,200 BpS is a step up :-)
