Re: Use PPP without deleting default route to internet?

You can have more than one default route. Also, in iSeries Navigator in
the PPP setup, under TCP/IP Settings, under Routing, select Define
Additional Static Routes, click Routes, then add the IP address of where
you're talking to (205.243.79.225) and probably a standard Class C subnet
mask (255.255.255.0). That should do it.
