Sorry?

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.
