hmm... strange. Anything in /var/log/phoneuid.log ?

but it has the ip command... wouldn't 'ip route change ...' work?
I _think_ the default route gets set by pppd itself... and a fast look into 
the manpage doesn't show any option to set the metric.
Adding a ip-up script to fix the metric in one way or the other might be the 
easiest solution...
