What's the signifigance of 120? Also, if you do this, the PM3 is (AFAIK)
going to advertise a host route for each user (assuming you don't use
proxyarp). Yucky.

Too bad you can't
ip route blah/blah null0
router ospf blah
redistribute static subnets
or even
redistribute static subnets route-map limit-ospf-exports

Now that recent ComOS pretty much requires 4mb, how about some decent
control of routing? i.e. null interface, control over what's exported
into what protocols, multiple networks per interface, etc. Or is this
CommieOS...the OS where the user gets exactly what the maker thinks the
user absolutely needs and not a feature more.

I really can't see how a PM3 is supposed to do BGP properly without the
ability to nail up networks to stable (null) interfaces.

And how about fixing the PM2 ISDN bugs...before we abandon ship and go
cruising with Cisco for a while.
