Upper case, though. ;-) The 'show route' that produces the 6.0.0.0 and 6.0.6.0 addresses come from ijppp only, not netstat. Still does, too, even though I now have everything working reasonably well. I changed to 'ppp -auto -alias ...' and everything works right. It seems to me that I should not have to specify '-alias' when my subnet is not using aliases; it's my assigned 16-address subnet. However, I'm guessing that, since the ppp interface is 205.252.206.188, and the subnet is 205.177.223.16, something in ijppp does not like the arrangement. Fiddling with the subnet mask had no effect.
