:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.2.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         192.168.2.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0


And, to make this amusing ("It would be funny, if it wasn't such a
problem..."), whilst I cannot go out past the 10.1.1.3 NIC (the NIC on
the gateway computer, that interfaces to the router/modem), on the
10.1.1.x DHCP LAN, that connects via the modem/router to the gateway
computer, is this computer that I am currently using for Internet
access, from which I can ssh into the gateway computer, via the
10.1.1.3 address, from which I can telnet into my workstation on the
192.168.2.x LAN.
