Gang:

        I've got my laptop all set up with Slackware, connected to the
network at work.  Everything works fine--telnet, FTP, all that.

        I've tried configuring PPP so I can reach the Internet from home
and the dang thing ain't working.  What I see is the message that "PPPd is
not replacing the default route", as outlined in the Linux PPP HOWTO.

        Okay, so I can only have one default route.  That seems fair.  But
here's where things start falling apart.  The HOWTO says to explore my
system initialization files to find out where this default route is being
set up.

        Two questions:  Where the heck am I supposed to be looking, and
once I find it, how do I fix it?

        One more:  CAN I have an ethernet connection at work and use a
modem at home on the same laptop without having to reconfigure?  That
"other" operating system lets me do it...

        Thanks in advance.  One of these days I'll get a *decent* Linux
book and leave you guys alone.

Bob
