Shouldn't
/sbin/route add default ppp0
do the that?
Or even better. Put the word
defaultroute
into his pppd string.
This will set the default route to that interface regardless of it being
ppp0 ppp1 ..... or whatever.

Subject: Re: Help! Cannot still connect to the NET
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
