So, this is probably better for the support list, but, what you're talking about is possible. Also, university is useless, getting yourself kicked out may actually be useful. Howto: Create two routing tables echo "20 gprs" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
ip route add default via $PPP_ENDPOINT dev ppp0 table gprs ip rule add from $PPPADDRESS lookup gprs then keep the other routing table in place, you can manipulate that without knocking out your PPP connectivity.
