Fwd: wrong default route

Apologies for using "Reply" instead of "Reply to all".  I'm used to
mailinglists putting the mailinglist's address in the reply-to field.
Any reason why this mailing list does not do that?

Anyway, below is my first reply.

Kind regards,

Herta

Add the default gateway to /etc/sysconfig/network.  Use static routes
for the others.

Kind regards,
