This leaves me with

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
130.233.192.0   *               255.255.252.0   U     32767  0        0 eth0
default         130.233.193.254 0.0.0.0         UG    0 0 0 eth0

(Excuse the formatting, pine's internal editor isn't always
nice, and I haven't had time reconfiguring.)

I can't access the outside world with this. (BTW, the mask
really does need to be 255.255.252.0.) Shouldn't the Metric
field for the second line be 1 or something? Now all my
traceroutes to external addresses give me just one line (the
system itself). If I try to set the metric with route, I get
an exception and the command fails.
