With 2.1.125, pppd is fine IF it is patched to NOT bail out if it
cannot set the route. (This is needed to break the chain "link not up"
<-> "cannot set route": pppd lets ppp? come up only after setting the
default route while linux 2.1.125 lets the route be set only after the
device has come up). There are patches, I do not remember where, search
the archives.
