I just tick the box for "Set default route" in linuxconf.
This in turn adds the option "defaultroute" (nothing else) to the script
that eventually runs pppd.
In RH6.0 this is /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp
but I never modify that script as such. It reads options from a file.
See "man pppd". The "defaultroute" option tells pppd to automatically
add a default route of whatever IP addr it gets allocated.
I think linuxconf is the best thing since sliced bread,
once considered writing something like that for Solaris,
but linuxconf is already done.
