This `route' command is invalid, so it is not at all surprising to me
that it does not work for you.  (It shouldn't cause a panic, though.
If you could provide more detailed information, I might be able to
track it down.)

First off, it does not make any sense to add a route to network
0.0.0.204 (which, when masked with the default netmask for a class A,
turns into 0.0.0.0).  Secondly, it doesn't make any sense to specify
`-link ppp1' for this sort of route.  You should instead specify the
address of the /other end/ of the PPP interface.
