I have trouble using the PPP interface. I think the problem is with routing.
Connection comes up , and a dynamic IP-number is negotiated. 
The problem starts when i try to use the network ' on the other side',
Ping reports "Network is down". Pinging my dynamically assigned IP is ok 
though. 
I saw a posting on comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc reporting problems
with ppp in the 950702 distribution . Post-date 7 September, Subject
"NetBSD-950702 questions...". 
PPP has been working earlier ( Mars-april this year), so something must 
have happened to route or some other network-code.

Is this just bad configuration , or is there a bug ?
