How did I set what up? The ppp0 line to auto dial ?? Just manually setup the ppp config files.. the main one is ifcfg-ppp0 this tells the system to dial on boot (As mentioned below) Put the entries in my static-routes file as you mentioned, but no luck, if I drop the ppp0 line, the routes disappear and don't come back..
