I don't know if that is what you want to do, but the ppp.linkup and ppp.linkdown scripts can be used for routing table hacking, AFAIK. You can put `add default HISADDR' in ppp.conf and have the ISP become the default gateway when ppp is on. Then on ppp.linkdown you can put a similar statement to return the default route to your ethernet. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public PGP key: finger keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr PGP fingerprint, phone and address in the headers of this message.
