Sorry, I've forgotten the exact failure here.  Could you remind me
exactly what happens?

Do you have a network route for net 224?  You probably want to add something
like

route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface 206.27.237.17"
static_routes="multicast"

to /etc/sysconfig to make sure that you have a multicast route pointing to
the enabled interface; if you don't have a multicast route then it will
use your default route which probably points out ppp0 which happens to be
disabled for multicast.
