On NT's dial-up networking, there is a "use default
gateway on remote network" checkbox in the "server"
page of the connection properties, under "TCP/IP
settings".
I'm sure I remember a similar checkbox somewhere in
the Win95/98 DUN settings, but unfortunately I don't
have a DUN-enabled 98 box available at present.
