Here is the problems:
When I start my ppp(free BSD2.1.5) try to connect to my Local 
internet provider,I get "dial OK", "Login OK", when I use " > show
ipcp", I can see his site IP and my site IP which were assigned 
dynamically.But I have a problem to ping others after that.
 I try to add a line "add default netmask HISADDR" in ppp.linkup file,
but it didn't work, So I use ppp comand in ppp prompt:
> add default netmask HISADDR

so it works !!,
 I want to know why and how can I make this default
route added automatically.
