Unless you have multiple TCP/IP enabled interfaces on your machine, running routed in active mode is a waste of bandwidth, and can cause iijppp to unnecessarily dial out unless you add port 513 to the dial filter rules. My advice to people running a dial up SLIP/PPP link (even if it is semi-permanent or permanent) it not to run routed at all ... all your machine needs is a single default route to the other end of the link, and it'll chug along fine. routed is just a waste of time in such an environment.
