Instead of telnetting to the PM3 and changing the gateway settings and such
try connecting to the PM3 by dialing into it and logging in as !root and
then make your changes. Your dialup conneciton is not dependent on your
ethernet settings, your telnet conneciton is.
What I do (having the benefit of having easy access to plenty of
PortMasters) is set up a PM2e-30 as a console server (Each port set to a
port type of 'device /dev/600<PortNumber>'. Each port then has a null
modem attached to the s0/c0 port of each of the other routers in my
network. Then by telnetting to my PM2e on port 600<PortNumber> I can
directly access any my portmasters regardless of the hideous things I have
done to my ethernet connection.
