    So, as root, I blow away the default route, and add a new one with the

Nate,

With a one year-old config, I had the same problem after cvsup'ing. I
solved the problem by trial and error, and reading the sample files
out of the new /usr/src/etc/ppp directory populated by cvsup.

I found that you need to do what you're doing by hand in
/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup with a twist. The new version of ppp
*really* likes to have ppp.linkup now!

My normal configuration now looks like this (in the critical areas)

myisp:
    ...
    set ifaddr 299.1.42.0/0 299.1.42.250/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
    delete ALL
    add default HISADDR

And ppp.linkup looks like this:

MYADDR:
 delete 0
 add 0 0 HISADDR

myisp:
 delete ALL
 add 0 0 HISADDR

Note that I doubt the MYADDR: is required, but since I don't have
time to test it after removing that section, I'm including it for
completeness.

Good luck!

Steve
