Below is the routing table. To me it looks very similar to the one on 
the adsl box (only the peer's ip address is different). For those not 
familiar with it, IPCop is Smoothwall, which is basically a stripped 
down RedHat6.2 with some clever scripts to read dial-up parameters from 
configuration files.  So, everything you know about pppd and ipchains 
applies.  The ppp-on script looks as though it should be setting 
defaultroute.
