Thanks to all those who pointed me in the right direction. I have
managed to get the default route situation fixed up and my RH5 box
now dials up, establishes a connection and also establishes a default
route.

just fine.
Flushed with my success I then changed the default route on one of
the other machines on my LAN so that it would now point to the
gateway on the RH5 box.
Unfortunately, this other box cannot make use of the gateway on the
RH5 box. I can ping the RH5 box from the other box so I know the
network connection exists. From looking at the LED's on my hub it
looks like the other box is sending tcp packets to the RH5 box.
Unfortunately they seem to go no further than that.
I am guessing this is tied up in IP forwarding or routing configs.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for fixing up this side of
things?
FWIW, when the ppp connection is up my 'route -n' looks like this:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
203.58.22.3 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 1 ppp0
203.57.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 7 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 3 lo
0.0.0.0 203.58.22.3 0.0.0.0 G 0 0 28 ppp0
(Yes, I have had a look thru the stuff on redhat.com but most of the
network config stuff refers to using netcfg and I don't have X
installed on _any_ computer on my LAN at the present time.)
Thanks for any help you can offer...
Dave.
