I'm using BSD/OS 2.1 .  I'm trying to use dial out ppp to another sub net. 
I'm running
on a Pentium 100 with an SMC ether card.  The modem connects fine, and runs
ppp, but I can't even ping the ip address assigned to the ppp0 interface,
let alone
anything on the remote sub net.  If I haven't specified a default route to
ppp0 before
hand, a default route is added for the we0 interface, and the gateway for
the ip 
address is assigned to link0, which is incorrect.  The routing tables look
good if I
add a defualt gateway ahead of time to ppp0 (I have a static IP add. when
connecting).
Is anyone actually using BSD/OS 2.1 to successfully dial out using ppp? 
I'm actually
investigating this problem for a client who experienced the same thing on
his box.  Any
help would be appreciated!
