/etc/init.d contains all the scripts that are executed at boot (unless
Slackware puts them somewhere else).

Sorta. You need to do SOMETHING, but it's only a matter of one command (which
can be put in a script if you should so wish).
One way to do it is:
* Comment out any stuff that creates a default root at boot
So now you're computer isn't aware of any outside network.
When at home, simply use PPP as outlined in the HOWTOs (sounds like you've got
that working, except for the default route thingy).
When at work, simply issue the command "route add default
<ip/hostname-of-gateway> gw". That should work unless the LAN's kinda weird.
"man route" for more info.
When you get home again, simply do "route del default" to remove the default
root.
All of the above can, of course, be automated using scripts (for example, you
could write a script that removes the default root, dial up using PPP, and then
adds the default root again - then you don't have to do anything except execute
that script when going online when you're @ home).
Oh; and this all assumed that you network card is configged ("man ifconfig" for
into on how to do that).
