That doesn't work. I tried putting defaultroute into /etc/ppp/options, but the result in /var/log/syslog was: Apr 29 22:38:59 strider pppd[6345]: not replacing existing default route to eth0 [192.168.1.1] route -n before running ppp (pon) was: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0 and after was: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.34.5 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0 from which the internet is not accessible by ppp, of course (I use eth0 at work, ppp0 from home). route -n obtained by first removing eth0 with "ifconfig eth0 down" and then running ppp is: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.34.9 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 0.0.0.0 192.168.34.9 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 The only way I know of getting ppp to set itself up properly (apart from doing a complicated manual configuration of the gateway) is to remove eth0 before running ppp. I do that in a small script and connect via that script.
