    I have added explicit netmasks to every conceivable route and
    ifconfig, but still this message. It seems that the following
    will always eliminate this message.

    (1) executed in rc.inet1 script:
    /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0

    (2) start pppd dialup using default route immeadiatly after
    executing:
    /sbin/route del default

    When the connection is established, the continuous "route forgot to
    specify route netmask" message stops. ??
