[ale] eth0 and ppp0 defaultroute question.

[Dow Hurst]

The defaultroute option passed to pppd when it starts up is what is 
meant by the previous email.  So in your options passed to pppd you must 
have that keyword.  The actual route may be stored in the peers file and 
be accessed when pppd realizes from the parameter you've passed to it 
that it needs set the defaultroute.  Hope this clarifies,
Dow
