Well if I try to set it with fsysopts the first time it will tell me:

./fsysopts: /servers/socket/2: Network is unreachable (something like that)

if I do it again it just hangs there and any subsequent invocations it will
just hang. What I typed was 'fsysopts -R /servers/socket/2 --gateway=10.0.0.2'.

Also if I invoke ppp a number of times it will finally seem to work, but it 
will just be hung there, no dialing in :(. Seems that I get some very erratic
behavior. Are there debug versions of the libs that I can grab (preferably 
debs) to help me see what is going on?

copyleft all the same.
