Like many of us I connect to the internet through a dialup ppp link. The link works great provided 'routed' is *not* running. If routed is running, invariably it deletes my default route :o( So, my questions are: 1. How do I tell routed to leave my default route alone? Is it with a command option, or perhaps something in a conf file? 2. Why do I need routed? ( Currently I'm running without it. ) 3. If I *do* need some kind of routing daemon, is gated a better choice? Thanks in advance, Please reply via email if possible Cheers, Andrew ( Opinions are my own... not those any employer past or present. )
