I don't have Windows and no the isp doesn't block telnet. 
However, I can ssh login. I also have a gateway
parameter, but I'm not sure where to put it in the ppp scripts. I did add
the netmask address 255.255.255.0 to /etc/ppp/peer/provider

Here is the output from 

ROOT:/root>route -n

I can't seem to add the gateway address

ROOT:/root>route add default gw 199.45.65.1
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

The OS was installed (originally) with a static ip address on a
LAN. 

Any suggestions?
Thanks
