strange ifconfig output..

[Paul van Berlo <immortal@xs4all.nl>]

Heya..

I finally got my ISDN running.. but now I'm experiencing some strange
ifconfig output, something like this:

ippp0     Link encap:Point-Point Protocol
          inet addr:194.109.15.56  P-t-P:194.109.31.5
Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:74 dropped:0 overruns:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:83 overruns:0

RX shows 74 errors and TX shows 83 dropped packets.. This can't be right,
since I succesfully logged on a telnet account during that session.. I'm
using kernel release 2.1.29.. I'm also experiencing another problem.. I
rewrote the isdn script and added a line that reads:
  route add default netmask 255.255.255.0 dev ippp0
Since 2.1.29 needs a netmask with the route command.. After doing this I'm
getting name lookup errors when trying to telnet or ftp or whatever. I
cant connect to anything. When I remove the 'netmask 255.255.255.0 dev
ippp0' and change it to 'route add default ippp0' it works fine.. Maybe my
netmask is wrong but I doubt it..

Any help on solving these 2 'problems' is welcomed (and I doubt its a big
problem.. maybe I just overlooked something...)
