The W routes are ``cloned'' routes. ``netstat'' doesn't bother
showing them. They disappear when the route that they're cloned from
disappears - in this case the ``default'' route.
If you're running in -auto mode with only the sticky route as per
your original message, ppp will never bother deleting the default so
all the cloned routes will hang around 'till they expire.
They shouldn't cause any problems.
If you really want to kill them, you could
delete default
add default hisaddr
in ppp.linkdown.

I have the choice - for #27/year, I get a static IP - worth every
penny !
What problems does it cause for dynamic IP ? Are the cloned routes
hanging around despite the gateway IP number changing ?

Me neither :-/
