Hi,
Try adding "defaultroute" to kppp to make the ppp connection the default route
to the ISP's gateway.
You should be able to have ppp0 and eth0 up at the same time and each will have
a different IP address. ppp will use the ISP assigned IP address and eth0 should
be set to a private IP address eg. 192.168.1.x where x is 1 to 254. Each
interface needs a separate IP address because they are on separate IP networks.
I don't know anything about dhcpcd.
Have I missed the point about what you are trying to do ?
