1.  Disable routed in /etc/sysconfig.
2.  Make sure you are creating a default route so the system will use the
dialup interface instead of the ethernet.  This is best handled by typing
"add 0 0 HISADDR" after connecting in ppp.

Then check 'netstat -rn' and make sure the routing tables look okay.

I disabled my ethernet card while I am here at home using ppp.  When I get
back to the University this fall I'll turn it back on again to use the
local net.
