Platform i386 - running " 1.4B NetBSD 1.4B (NEWHOUSE) #76: Fri May 21 01:26:42 PDT 1999"

I do a "ping -I 24.1.4.202 204.152.184.75" and tcpdump shows me:

   09:07:30.883494 c528574-b.stcla1.sfba.home.com > ftp.netbsd.org: icmp: echo request
   09:07:30.903052 ftp.netbsd.org > c528574-b.stcla1.sfba.home.com: icmp: echo reply
   09:07:31.883539 c528574-b.stcla1.sfba.home.com > ftp.netbsd.org: icmp: echo request
   09:07:31.902242 ftp.netbsd.org > c528574-b.stcla1.sfba.home.com: icmp: echo reply
   09:07:32.883497 c528574-b.stcla1.sfba.home.com > ftp.netbsd.org: icmp: echo request
   09:07:32.903388 ftp.netbsd.org > c528574-b.stcla1.sfba.home.com: icmp: echo reply

as I expected.  However, if I do a "route add -host 204.152.184.75 24.1.4.202" and
do a ping I get no response, yet tcp dump indicates I'm sending the same addresses:

   09:08:22.340990 c528574-b.stcla1.sfba.home.com > ftp.netbsd.org: icmp: echo request
   09:08:23.340988 c528574-b.stcla1.sfba.home.com > ftp.netbsd.org: icmp: echo request
   09:08:24.340985 c528574-b.stcla1.sfba.home.com > ftp.netbsd.org: icmp: echo request
   09:08:25.341309 c528574-b.stcla1.sfba.home.com > ftp.netbsd.org: icmp: echo request
   09:08:26.341174 c528574-b.stcla1.sfba.home.com > ftp.netbsd.org: icmp: echo request
   
Clearly I'm mis-understanding something but, what?

TIA,
