I have noticed that with my ppp running  and after  <alot of bouncing
around>  my routing table is full of address all going to one address
(HISADDR).  Since I am on a ppp dial-up  everything should just go to
the 
default route.  Is there a flag I can set to prevent all those routes
from being added?  Will this hurt my dial-up performance if allowed to
grow?

Thanks
