Re: More diald problems.

This IMHO is not correct. From the diald-man-page:

PPPD OPTIONS
       When diald is being used in PPP  mode extra options can be
       passed on to pppd  by specifying them after a "--" on  the
       command  line.   This  should not normally be necessary as
       default options can be placed  into  the  /etc/ppp/options
       file.  But,  if you need to run multiple instances of pppd
       with different options then you will have to make  use  of
       this  ability.   Note that some pppd options should not be
       specified, not even in the /etc/ppp/options file,  because
       they  will  interfere  with the proper operation of diald.
       In particular you should not specify the tty  device,  the
       baud  rate,  nor  any  of  the  options  crtscts, xonxoff,
       -crtscts, defaultroute,  lock,  netmask,  -detach,  modem,
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^
       local, mtu and proxyarp.  Use the equivalent diald options
       to control these pppd settings.

This to my mind clearly states that the defaultroute option has to go in
the *diald* options file *not* in the one for ppp.

Regards,
