I'm experimenting with ppp again.  I can get it going, and all is
perfectly correct, except I can't get a default route to my isp going.
My machine, journey2.mat.net. is 205.252.122.116, static.  The isp isd
mat.net, and the machine I ppp to is earth.mat.net, at 205.252.122.1.

The end of my ppp.conf entry is:

 set ifaddr 205.252.122.116 205.252.122.1 255.255.255.0

the ppp.linkup entry is:

matppp:
 delete ALL
 add 0 0 205.252.122.1

How come I always have to add the default routing entry via a
route command?  It's never done for me, but I duplicate the entry in the
man page just exactly.  This is _not_ auto, btw.
