I've never had any luck with ppp.linkup. Try looking at netstat -rn and make sure there are no erroneous routes in there. > >Disable routed.

Anyway, how do I disable routed, and how do I tell the > system that my mailbox account should be reached through the PPP link? Huh? In most PPP situations, you have one route in and one route out, so you want that to be the default route. routed has a really bad habit of deleting default routes, even with the code in ppp to protect it's routes from routed's cannibalism. So I recommend to just turn it off. It killed me once when our router went bananas. It made me really mad.
