It seems that Ethernet is incompatible with PPP. That can't be right,
because lots of people would complain, but it sure seems that way.
As soon as I added Ethernet (and a static PPP address) my PPP connection
stopped working.

What should the output of route -n (and other programs) be when
I have these addresses:

local PPP address 198.115.180.39 (registered and all)
remote PPP address 192.233.85.139 (may vary)
Ethernet address 192.168.0.18 (not registered, from rfc1597)

Yeah, I have the same problem the other way round:
I run ethernet on a local net and then start ppp with defaultroute.
I have to shut down eth0 and to restart X so that I can get xterms
from remote hosts.
Does it have to do something with hosts.conf, hosts.resolv or host.aliases?
I didn't find info for these.

Thanx in advance

Wow. Okay, now can I get that to work with a dynamic IP address from my
ISP? (Actually, can they even adjust their routing tables if I have a
dynamic IP? Do I _need_ them to adjust their tables [with this type of
setup I believe yes]).
