Getting back to this finally.
Here are some details on how I am attemting to set up the 2nd EXT port as a
PPP link:
EXTIF=eth0
EXTIP="96.56.230.78"
EXTNM="255.255.255.248"
EXTGW="96.56.230.73"
EXT2IF=ppp0
#EXT2IP="dhcp"
#EXT2NM="255.255.255.0"
#EXT2GW="68.236.211.11"
PPPOEUSER="<username>"
PPPOEPASS="<password>"
PPPOEIF="eth1"
PPPOEKERNEL="yes"
PPPOEDEBUG="yes"
Upon rebooting with this configuration, I find that I don't have a
eth0,eth1, or ppp0 connection:
sk3 ~ # ifconfig
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:24:CB:01:32
inet addr:192.168.17.78 Bcast:192.168.17.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:109 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:24112 (23.5 KiB) TX bytes:36135 (35.2 KiB)
Interrupt:9 Base address:0xe300
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
Other attempts:
I've experimented with the definition of EXT2IP/NM/GW, with no apparent
change.. Ultimately, I've left them commented out since they should be
assigned as part of the ppp setup in any event.
I switched eth0 and eth1, making the ppp link on eth0. End up with the same
interface configuration as above.
Any thoughts would be welcome. I've been tracing the network script
(S03Network) that is invoked during startup. I don't have any intelligent
observations on that yet, so I will refrain from speaking on that process
till I understand what's going on there.

Should have checked for other threads before replying...
Ok, obliterate in what way? Does the default route get stomped on?
