Subject:   User PPP - How to add default route automatically

Hi All

I now have ppp working nicely now if I just type
 ppp<cr> and then 
dial iafrica<cr>

I get the upper case PPP and all is well except that I have to 
manually type
add 0 0 HISADDR<cr>

and then all works very well. I am using dynamic IP address and 
gateway address.

On looking further, I discovered the ppp.linkup file, however it does 
nothing for me. It has the default entry

MYADDR:
    add 0 0 HISADDR

as well as 

iafrica:
   add 0 0 HISADDR

but the route never gets added. Any ideas?


Regards,

Irvine Short
