I'll bet you're doing an ``add 0 0 HISADDR'' in both ppp.conf and 
ppp.linkup, but not doing a ``delete 0'' in ppp.linkup prior to the 
add.  The second add is simply failing because a default route 
already exists.

If your IP is static, you don't need the delete or add in ppp.linkup. 
If it's dynamic, you do need the ``delete 0'' (or ``delete default'' 
with the latest versions) as well as the ``add 0 0 hisaddr'' (or
``add default hisaddr'' with the latest versions) in ppp.linkup.

If this isn't the answer, please add command logging at the start of 
your default section and post the relevent bits of the log.

Thanks.
