Hi Dirk
Thanks , I am able to connect to the VPN , and
route all the traffic through ppp0.This is what I had
done , after the connection was established.
#####################################################
route del -net 169.254.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0
route add default gw 192.168.168.167 ppp0
route add -host AAA.BB.CC.DD dev eth0
route add -host AAA.BB.CC.DD gw 10.0.0.1 dev eth0
route add -host 10.0.0.1 dev eth0
route del default gw 10.0.0.1 dev eth0
##
AAA.BB.CC.DD ==> Public IP address of VPN server

This I had tried using CentOS .
I do have plan to try FreeSwan on LinkSys router
with OpenWrt installed
Thanks
