Thanks for all the help from Phil Meyer. I'd like to get the new
method working, but unfortunately I don't have time to dink with it an
longer. *sigh*

I simply disabled NetworkManager, enabled the classic network service,
and configured my static route from the convenient GUI. Done.

Hopefully, NM will allow this simple configuration explicitly in the
future, rather than requiring expert intervention and editing of
config files (some of which don't exist in the install and must be
created from scratch!) still coming to no solution.

Later. Thanks again...
