I did try deleting the default gateway first, but it doesn't seem to matter. > careful how you name your scripts.

This probably accounts for the 1 minute delay while it does other stuff. I still don't know why pppd isn't setting the default gateway itself, like it used to, and like the man page says 'defaultroute' should trigger. Thanks, Chris -- Christopher S.
