Ok, here we are:
anguish:~$ netstat -rn
Routing tables

Once again, my appologies for any formatting problems that has (I'm sure it
ends up wrapping funny).  To the best of my knowledge the gateway and
netmask are set properly (the isp hosting the machine actually set those
numbers themselves, but they do look right to me).  Quite honestly though,
I don't know exactly what the physical layout of the network is (this
particular machine is located on the opposite side of the country from me).

Thanks,
