Hi,
As I remember, this is just a default route problem. You have to force
ppp to set the default route to the new one.
Modifiy the line :
add default HISADDR
to
add! default HISADDR
Extract from `man ppp':
The string `HISADDR' represents the IP address of the connected
peer. If
the ``add'' command fails due to an existing route, you can
overwrite the
existing route using:
PPP ON awfulhak> add! default HISADDR
I guess you can also cleanup the routing table in the ppp.linkdown, this
should work aswell.
