Actually, because of a typo in /etc/ppp/options, the only way I could
get it to work at all was to have routed running and have it set up as 
a gateway.  It didn't make sense to have it set up that way but ... :)

Thanks to David Kelly (dkelly@hiwaay.net) for sharing his options file
I found my mistake and was able to get it to work 'correctly' with no
routed, and no gateway.  Now, how can I set it to disconnect the modem
after, say, 5 minutes of idle time??
