Yeah Stefan. They do take the default route. That is what I am already doi=
ng.

I even wrote a little prog using a variation of ping to do just that.

The problem lies with the fact that, there is a router between my rl0 and =
the internet.

1) rl0 -----------> router ----------> antenna ------>  ISPx ------> inter=
net

So the fact that i can ping the hop next to rl0 doesn=B4t mean the link is=
 up :(.

That is why I NEED to ping something on the internet.

Thanks,
