	Could you provide more information on what is meant by
	&quot;dynamically reroute&quot;? By that you mean that ppp shouldn't add
	default routes to the gateways?

	Which way would I do this? Should I delete my default route
	and use:

	# ip route add default scope global nexthop dev ppp0 nexthop dev eth0

	(so that I can use both my ppp connection and my DSL?)

	I tried the above and it &quot;partially&quot; works: I have problems
	accessing some www sites (Netscape shows me &quot;No route to
	host&quot;), while accessing others is fine (I can read slashdot
	ok).

	It seems that the problem only occurs with TCP based services
	(UDP based ones seem to be fine -- ICMP echo also seems fine).

	Any suggestion what I should be doing to correct this?


	Thank you very much for any comments, Roger...
