  Doh, let me throw them in now:

In Linux 2.0.35 (output of 'route') after I've dialed up:

  Well, kinda.  my network card is not in use at the moment (i use it
occasionally or I'd take it out) so the only connection to the internet or
other computers for that matter is over the modem.

  Actually this helped a great deal in me understanding routing a bit
better, the routing table entry:

208.158.152.0   *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0

was/is the culprit, as anything for my local subnet was getting sent to my
network card.  Sigh, I always seem to realize my mistakes AFTER I've asked
for help heh.  Ah well, thanks 8)
