    Brian,

    Very helpful. Someone on another forum suggsted the possibility of
    adjusting routing using either a routed daemon or setting static
    routes, but it seems that your method seems quicker. If I segment off
    the PPP side, do I need to change the subnet mask on the rest of the
    network as well?

    (I should know this!)
