This probably means that you have a default route to a local network
to which your home box belongs.  If this is the home box then remove
the default route, the network specific route is all that's needed.
If it's the office box then add the "noauth" option, or, for PAP or
CHAP authentication, make sure an acceptable IP address for the home
box is specified in the fourth field.

You might also upgrade pppd to 2.4.0b2 available at linuxcare.com.au
in pub/ppp by ftp.  The new security code in the later 2.3.x verisions
of pppd is less than perfect.
