Your routers.txt didn't appear to make it through; all mine says is "in
windoze 95, output of netstat -r".

As far as I can tell from the hints in your message, you seem to have a
local LAN with multiple subnets, as well as a modem.  Here's how I would
set this up:

First, set a route to the local subnet:

  route add -net 208.158.152.0 dev eth0

Then, set routes to the other subnets:

  route add -net x.x.x.x gw y.y.y.y

(where x.x.x.x is the network and y.y.y.y is the gateway router to that
network)

Then, the PPP connection should be set to become the default route when
it comes up.

Does this help?  If not, try to describe the network you're on better. 
Also, what distribution of Linux are you using?
