I cleaned up the above and get (Nate's machine):

Destination     Gateway           Genmask         Flags  Mss  Window  Irtt Iface208.154.157.150 *                 255.255.255.255 UH      0    0       0    ppp0127.0.0.0       *                 255.0.0.0       U       0    0       0    lo
default         208.154.157.150   0               U       0    0       0    ppp0


But my machine (working fine) says:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
localnet        *               255.255.255.128 U      1500 0          0 eth0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U      3584 0          0 lo
default         gateway.mwac.np 0.0.0.0         UG     1500 0          0 eth0

So, on Nate's default, is it bad that Nate has no "G" in with is
flags?  What about his "0" (rather than "0.0.0.0") for "Genmask"?  I
understand (I think) the reason for the "H" flag.
