Mike's solution would fix your "problem" as presented--that you have a script which has stopped working. It would also be a "minimum change" solution because all the rest of your setup should be the same. Given additional information (like what it's for), you'll get a different solution. > Wayyyyyy back when, all the dialup users used SLIP, thankfully there > aren't many of them left.

One of the sad things about SLIP is that most implementations didn't permit you to set up routing, so you needed hack solutions. PPP is much nicer because there's some address negotiation as part of the protocol. However, without a good knowledge of your topology it's hard to say what the best (or even a good) solution would be for you.
