tried...

putting "route add default ippp0" into /etc/ppp/ip-up
also done 'route add default ippp0' on the command line

also tried......

1/   /sbin/route add default gw $REMOTEIP dev $INTERFACE
2/   /sbin/route add default gw $194.247.47.47 dev $ippp0
3/   /sbin/route add default gw $REMOTEIP dev $ippp0
4/   /sbin/route add default netmask 0 ippp0
5/   route add default netmask 0 ippp0

as separate attempts.  I can ping both ways from the gateway to the
notebook and back.  When I tried 2 I couldn't ping my ISP from the
gateway at all.

I now find that when I ping 194.247.47.47 from my notebook I can send
56bytes out through the gateway but nothing comes back to the notebook
PCMCIA card.

Also tried /etc/ppp/ip-up.local  and   /etc/ppp/ip-down.local but that
doesn't work either.

Any more suggestions ?
