[stuff about scripts to start and stop PPP deleted]
I want to flush the routing table after all this is done. Trouble is that
the command 'route flush' does not seem to do anything.
It sounds like you're trying to make things more complicated than they
need to be. Do you really want to remove *all* routes? Look at the
pppd man page, and pay attention to the "defaultroute" and "proxyarp"
(if you have more than one machine at home) options.
PPP can automatically insert a default route to your server when it
starts, and remove that route automatically when it stops, if you use
the defaultroute option.
Also, you might look at adding and deleting additional routes with the
/etc/ppp/ip-up and /etc/ppp/ip-down scripts.
