I found static routes to be a problem.  If the ppp link goes down and a
packet arrives it redirects the route out throught he default; when the
link comes back up it doesn't get re-re-directed.   :-(

What we were trying to do is use the /etc/ppp/ip-up and /etc/ppp/ip-down
to install static routes, but route won't work for non-root logins.  :-(
I remember something about this on the list, but I've not had a chance to
research it.  :-(!!

But gated is clearly the way to go.  I don't know if it's all that
important to run OSPF, but certainly RIPv2 is basic.

Thanks,

Mike
