Is this the best / most technically correct solution ?? I'm trying to root out as many "home grown" fixes that have been inherited here as possible & replace them with "standard" versions where available. I'm sure this isn't the only situation on the planet where remote users with a few public IPs dialin to a POP. How does everyone else deal with it ?? Wayyyyyy back when, all the dialup users used SLIP, thankfully there aren't many of them left. However I've had better results with user- ppp than pppd and would like to move all the dialups over to user-ppp. Main challenge appears to be automating the "route add" after the link is up.
