You can setup ppp to setup the default route for you when the pppoe link comes up. in /etc/ppp/options make sure the line "default" is not commented out. You can also put a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ that will be run whenever a link comes up and the same for /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/ . You can use these for adding extra routes if they're needed, or doing funky stuff as the link changes. Kind Regards Crispin Wellington
