OK, we're getting somewhere :-)
However, problem stays when I try to reconnect to the usual network after, say, closing pppd connection. Then I run netenv again (I haven't given up on it yet Dan! :) and my /etc/network/interfaces is linked to # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

while the netenv setting is# Networkenvironment: netask

export NETMASK=255.255.255.0
That's still screwy. That's not a netmask that's going to get you to the Internet.
everything looks consistent all right? And in fact, the route table appearsKernel IP routing tableDestination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface150.217.140.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 150.217.140.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0however, I don't get on the net. Well, I do, but I only reach the computer on the next desk, not quite far enough. Only if I unload the ethernet card module, reload, and run ifconfig eth0 up
And does the route table look the same? I doubt it. This says to me, route anything not directed to 150.217.140.* to 150.217.140.1 - then those packets, and anything explicitly directed to 140.217.140.* are routed to 0.0.0.0. Drop the first route and see what happens.
Anyway, I completely agree with Daniel. You can do practically everything you need just with ifupdown. The odd thing that needs a little more work works well with whereami. ifupdown-roaming (unless that was the old name...) is useful too. netenv is just too clunky for my taste.
