Hi all

It has been a while since I have used dialup under linux and I know that I 
am missing something here.  I have helped a friend set up a connection to 
the internet on his debian linux laptop.  He uses the laptop at work on the 
local area network (static ip) and accesses the internet there with no 
problem.  At home he also wants to access the internet.  His current setup 
dials the number and negotiates a connection.  plog shows that it has 
connected and the ip addreses etc., however he cannot access the 
internet.  I think the issue lies with the fact that he has already got a 
default gateway set from his static settings.  can someone offer some 
guidance on this issue

Thanks
Shaun
