Why not just have RIP or OSPF (Livingston, unlike Ascend's Pipelines
understands OSPF) pass a default route to the connection? I wouldn't want
to automajically do it anyway, as sometimes the OR-U will NOT want its WAN
connection to have the default route if it is at the provider end (In
which case the ether0 interface should have the default route). THAT could
be construed as brain-dead behavior. And you may not want to listen to a
default route passed in PPP negotiation if the destination address is
wrongly passing a default. Realize the OR-U's ComOS is descended from
terminal server software not modem software. And in the majority of cases
it is not going to be used like a consumer TA that can dial everywhere,
but in an "office router" situation where the default route will almost
always be the same. IMHO
The office router is pretty nice just the way it is, thank you.
