The point is that the pppd *was* up, and funcionting. All packets to
class B and C networks went through, but packets to the two class A
hosts I tried failed until I removed the original default route.
The original default route was the loopback. I was using the
"defaultroute" option on pppd, and it was working for class B and C
destinations.
