: True, but sliplogin or slattach or gated (something, I can't remember

We use gated here to keep sane routes.  We'd give it up in about 2
seconds if something better were to come along, however.  It is a pain
in the butt to setup.  About 1/2 the time in getting a slip/ppp
connection going in the village is fighting modems.  The other half is
gated config file problems :-(.
