Yes: RIP is the solution. Make sure RIP is on on ether0, off on the
default route, and off on all the dialup sessions (they won't be
announcing routes to you anyway). A snippet of a routing table from a
currently-full PM2E30, showing host routes:
204.249.225.192 204.249.225.12 HD 2 ether0
204.249.225.160 204.249.225.11 HD 2 ether0
204.249.225.96 204.249.225.10 HD 2 ether0
(Those 3 routes are from other portmasters, which announced their routes
to the LAN via RIP)
204.249.225.64 204.249.225.64 HL 1 ptp19
204.249.225.65 204.249.225.65 HL 1 ptp5
(Those 2 are on ports S19 and S5, respectively)
Works the nuts here. 4 different Class C numbers used for dialups, all
dynamically assigned, too.
