Thanks, that worked.  Not with 70.137.191.254 of course, but rather
with the new IP it came up with this time.  Any way I can make this
automatic, preferably in a way I can easily reverse when I go
back to T.O.?  I'm afraid I didn't really understand the advice
about adding defaultroute to the ppp configuration or not configuring
eth0.
