    Thanks for another hint. Although in my initial excercise there was only one route to Palm:
     network -> eth0 (x.x.x.7) -> muLinux gateway -> ppp0 (x.x.x.8) -> Palm
    I also though that it would be worth trying to put Palm on another sub-net. This is what I did last night. I set:
       192.168.1.7 - IP for eth0 for muLinux (mask 255.255.255.0)
       192.168.2.8 - IP for ppp0 for Palm
    and
       route add -net 192.168.2.0 gw 192.168.1.7 eth0
    So now the gateway was openly declared.
    And the result was ... it did not work either :-(
    The delays were still there.

    Interesting thing: I observe the delays on ppp0 connection, but "ifconfig" shows no lost packets on eth0 and ppp0! (Michele advised me to check lost packets).
    I have some more experiments to make over weekend and I'll post short report soon.
