# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
172.31.16.24    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0

No firewall either.

I don't know why it doesn't work.  It is totally frustrating.  I have installed
the roaring penguin stuff as documented a couple of times now.  It says it works
with 2.4 series kernels.

I am running kernel 2.4.2 with devfs and pppd 2.4.0

Any suggestions?

Mark.
