Following is the routing table from my system when the connection was made
by diald:

[root@harvey network-scripts]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
www.rlpcon.loc  *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 eth0:0
192.168.1.21    *               255.255.255.255 UH    1      0        0 sl0
b-net.vermontel *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        6 eth0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        4 lo
default         *               0.0.0.0         U     0      0        5 ppp0
default         *               0.0.0.0         U     1      0       14 sl0

Note that there are two default route entries. While I know that diald's
defaultroute option creates a default link to sl0 (slip interface), where
does the second default route come from? I do not have "defaultroute" set
as an option for pppd. (If I connect with ppp using pppd's defaultroute
option and diald not running, there is only one default route.)
