You shouldn't have to do anything (everytime, though you need to change a .conf or two...) to get pppd to the default. Unfortunately, I had the instructions on my mozilla account but have since deleted it, as I just couldn't get it to stop crashing on me. I am running mdk 9.1 so things might be different for you. I still haven't got the internet sharing done (still have to execute drakgw every time I want the other machine to access the net) but at least when I connect, pppd takes the default route! The people on mdk expert were the ones who originally helped me... sorry but I am still newbieeee.
Dual fold question, why do I have to DISABLE eth0 and eth1 for ppp0 to be
the default route, and is there a way that we can have this made a little
bit easier if not a little bit eliminated... I've tried switching the Intel
LAN card off in bios, but for some reason it STILL requires all lan cards to
be disabled before ppp0 is the default route...

From my recent playing with ppp and eth's you have to kill the defaultroute before starting pppd. As pppd will not overwrite the default route if it exists out one of the eth cards..
For me this means, /sbin/route -del default Before I dial out using pppd and the life is good ....
Hoping that I dont get in trouble for this ....
