Adding defaultroute won't cause the problem you describe unless you've
failed to follow the scripting rules, e.g., you insert defaultroute on it's
own line and didn't escape the eol with `\'.

You will get a default route through the PPP interface via the IP address
of the remote provided the defaultroute option is used, the script has no
error and you don't already have a default route set. This is an example:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
38.83.57.75 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
0.0.0.0 38.83.57.75 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
