3rd time's the charm

I have a couple of really stubborn routes that just won't go away. I'm
trying to make the switch from rip/static routes to OSPF, and it sort of works
except these two routes mess things up.

As you can see from the stuff below, the two routes 206.117.108.241 and
206.117.108.240 exist in the portmaster, but my attempts to remove them fail
since it looks like the PM still thinks they're active on ptp21.

pm1> sh route
Destination Mask Gateway Source Flag Met Interface
----------------- ---- -------------------- ------- ---- --- ---------
0.0.0.0 0 204.x.x.5 local NS 1 ether0
206.117.108.241 32 206.117.108.241 local HL 1 ptp21
206.117.108.240 29 206.117.108.241 temp NS 1 ptp21
(Other non-important routes removed)

pm1> del route 206.117.108.240
Couldn't delete route - entry not found
pm1> del route 206.117.108.240/29
Couldn't delete route - entry not found
pm1> del route 206.117.108.241
Couldn't delete route - entry not found
pm1> del route 206.117.108.241/32
Couldn't delete route - entry not found

pm1> sh netstat
Name Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Collis Resets Queue
ether0 1941 0 1758 0 90 0 0
ptp21 0 0 0 0 0 0 60

All attempts to do a "reset ptp21" fail (not shown) and rebooting doesn't
work either, so I don't know what to do next. The routes are created using
a RADIUS entry, which should clean itself upon disconnect but that doesn't
happen. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong (if it's obvious I'll
blame the late hours as the reason I didn't catch it :) )?

Thanks,

Mike Carlson

P.S. New since my last message is this ifconfig:

ether0: flags=40106<IP_UP,IPX_DOWN,BROADCAST,PRIVATE,OSPF>
inet 204.x.x.2 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 204.140.219.255
area 0.0.0.0 ospf-state DROTHER mtu 1500
ptp21: flags=71<IP_DOWN,IPX_DOWN,POINT_TO_POINT,SUSPENDED>
dest 192.168.5.5 netmask fffffff8 mtu 1500
ptp22: flags=35<IP_UP,IPX_DOWN,POINT_TO_POINT>
dest 206.117.108.241 netmask ffffffff mtu 1500

I changed the destination for ptp21 to 192.168.5.5 and everything began
working like it should, until the first PM got dialed into then it just made
a similar (the netmask is wrong) entry named ptp22. Needless to say, I can't
get rid of ptp21 *or* ptp22 now. (Well, ptp21 goes away with a reboot, but
the ptp22 entry just gets recreated immediately...only as ptp21.)
