[ILUG] PPP Config

[Patrick Kiernan]

I've setup my dial-up connection with pppconfig so to get online I type 
"pon iol". I've given my
normal user account access to do this also but everytime I connect I 
still have to change to root and
add the default gw otherwise I can't ping anywhere. The default gw being:

ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          *inet addr:194.165.160.102*  P-t-P:194.145.128.243  
Mask:255.255.255.255         
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING     NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:136 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:2
          TX packets:123 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
          RX bytes:70775 (69.1 Kb)  TX bytes:6201 (6.0 Kb)

The bit in bold there and since this changes everytime I connect, I have 
to change it manually.

Maybe I should get the latest version of pppconfig? - Anyone know good 
apt sources for Debian Woody 3.0 testing/unstable?

Any help appreciated
