	Could you provide more information on what is meant by
	"dynamically reroute"? 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 "partially" works: I have problems
	accessing some www sites (Netscape shows me "No route to
	host"), 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...
