I was getting the exact same error as the original poster, and
did not change anything in my configuration between 2.1.99 and
.100. Also, I'm not on RH5, but I am on glibc-2.0.7

I made the change you suggested (a couple of different ways) -- and
it didnt help. But later I found that it was NOT the one
the ioctl in sifdefaultroute that was the problem...

it was the one in sifaddr() ... there's a similar set of lines there,
and I changed the return to a 1 -- it still barks out the "network
down" message, but it makes the ppp connection and it works. I'm
using it right now.
