Don't configure eth1 until you have DSL, then. It will simplify things
for now.

:) How, exactly, did you get two default routes on each ethernet card?
Did you use linuxconf to set this up? If not, you should have. I
strongly recommend that you remove the configurations that you have now,
and start over. Configure only eth0, and don't set a default route on
that card. Your routing table should look like this:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
199.1.1.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
eth0
199.1.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0

I suspect that is because you didn't use linuxconf to configure the ppp
interface either. PPPD will no longer delete your default route to add
it's own. Setting "defaultroute" in /etc/ppp/options will not work
alone.

Mine has only "lock". the others will be set correctly by linuxconf,
remove them.
If you aren't familiar with linuxconf, ethernet cards are configured
under Config-> Networking-> Client Tasks-> Basic host information. PPP
devices are configured under Config-> Networking-> Client Tasks->
PPP/SLIP/PLIP.
Once configured correctly, you should be able to use /sbin/ifup and
/sbin/ifdown to control both your eth0 and ppp0 interfaces. There
should be no need for any other scripts.
