- My link is Dell -> Netblazer

- after I do the slip attach I can ping the remote site just fine
- (180-200ms for v.32bis/v.42bis (56byte packets)) but the
- "route add default remote site 1" fails.

- "route add default ..... 0" and all works -- only I have multiple
- entries that show up with netstat -rn
