My mistake in the post.  That is the way it's set up.  And if I forget,
it says 'no route to host' which is not the problem I now see.  When
I try and connect to something other than the server machine it just
sits there and hangs.  I think it eventualy times out, I typically
get tired of waiting for it and ^c...  But I'm right in thinking that
this *should* work?  There's nothing special about setting up the server
end is there?  A (possibly) related question is: do I need the have routed
running? After looking at the man page I wouldn't think so...  All the
machines here are either local net or through the default router.
I should be able to just add a permanent route, yes?  And this has nothing
to do with PPP?
