After you get ppp0 up, try the following router command
/sbin/route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw x.x.x.x
Where x.x.x.x is the IP addr of the remote end of your ppp link
Check things by checking routes with netstat:
netstat -rn
If you cannot get to the Net then paste a copy of the results of netstat
-rn and we can probably give you some more suggestions.
Good Luck
