[Gllug] pppd replacedefaultroute

[Stephen Nelson-Smith]

Hello,

I use a pcmcia datacard / gprs modem to work on the train.  This works
perfectly under Debian and/or Ubuntu - I use wvdial, and have a wvdial
config and a /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial config that works without fail,
every time.

On Fedora or Centos, this doesn't work, and I see error messages
indicating that pppd dislikes my "replacedefaultroute" option.

The versions are jolly close:

ppp-2.4.4-1.el5 vs ppp_2.4.4rel-8_i386.deb

I see no mention of 'replacedefaultroute' in the Redhat documentation.
 If I remove it, it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

S.
