To do the same under Windows NT or 2000 type:
route ADD 10.1.2.1 MASK <subnet mask> <gateway> METRIC <route metric> IF
<interface number>
slightly more complicated I know, but then that's Microsoft for you. I think
that the metric can be left out, and the docs *say* that if you leave off
the interface number, it will try and use the best one for the job!
once you have done this "route PRINT" will show you your current routing
table.
