leftsourceip
<br>
the IP address for this host to use when transmitting a
packet to
<br>
the other side of this link. Relevant only locally, the
other end
<br>
need not agree. This option is used to make the gateway
itself use
<br>
its internal IP, which is part of the leftsubnet, to
communicate to
<br>
the rightsubnet or right. Otherwise, it will use its
nearest IP
<br>
address, which is its public IP address. This option is
mostly used
<br>
when defining subnet-subnet connections, so that the
gateways can
<br>
talk to each other and the subnet at the other end,
without the
<br>
need to build additional host-subnet, subnet-host and
host-host
<br>
tunnels. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.

You didn't. Thanks for the info, it was among the things I tried but
apparently discarded too early. The route still says ppp0:<br>
<blockquote><tt>Destination Gateway Genmask
Flags Metric Ref Use Iface</tt><br>
<tt>192.168.248.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0
0 0 ppp0</tt><br>

...but I am getting pings through now, both from my home server and
from other workstations on my local subnet.<br>
<br>
Now I just have to set up routing so the 192.168.248.0/24 subnet can
access other system in my own subnet, but that's another issue
altogether.<br>
