[ale] ppp to gridnet.com, No pkt forwarding after ppp-up ?

>Hi,

I've not been able to resolve this problem so I'm hoping someone else
has seen this:


>I'm trying to use my companies ISP / backbone provider, gridnet.com, with my
red hat / pppd 2.2.0f-3.  I'm suspecting that their PPP setup technology
requires some
step that Linux'es ppp does not support, (guessing) that sets pkt
forwarding on 
the _distant_ end, plus the other well known MS-PPP feature not
supported by linux'es ppp
of configuring the near end (my box) DNS server IP address.

I do have the correct default route on my box, set with the dynamic IP
address.
