 Thanks, Richard!
 Now it works. After few attempts to modify old 
 /root/.ppprc I have noticed that dunc replaced it
 by the short file with one option (defaultroute)
 and 2-3 strings as well.  Then I just added this option
 in old (and valid) .ppprc file. Hope this will be fixed later.

Actually, dunc doesn't overwrite your .ppprc file unless you
ask for the connection to be the default, in which case it
backs up your existing .ppprc file as .ppprc.old. Even then,
I doubt it would be only a few lines.  In fact, I think its
rather odd that it took you a few times of editing it to
notice that it was different.  What dunc actually does in
this case is make .ppprc a link to .dunc/connection_name.ctn.
This file is heavily commented -- including a header that
identifies it as being generated by dunc 2.

Now I'm confused as to what was actually wrong, and what
fixed it.  But that doesn't matter I suppose, as long as it
works now.

 All of that output looks normal.  Without more information,
 I'd say either hte system you're connecting to isn't
 correctly configured for proxy arp, or you're not using the
 peer as the default gateway, which you should.  This used to
 be in the default /etc/ppp/options file, but I just noticed
 that its not in the latest one.  
 
 You can grep for default in you *.ctn file(s) under
 ~/.dunc and see if defaultroute is getting set.  If not, you
 can filre up dunc and go to Modify (then select next,
 OK, bla bla, select your connection) and go to Details.
 This should give you a bunch of settings to choose from.
 Choose defaultroute by arrowing down to it and pressing
 space bar.  You may also want to arrow down to proxyarp
 and mark that as well, although that's only supposed to be
 for the server or peer side.  It won't hurt anything to
 have it on though.
 
 If that doesn't change anything, check with the system
 administrator of the peer and see if there's a problem on
 the proxy arp server.  By the way, I get the message about
 Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP also, it
 doesn't affect my system though.
 
 Outside of this, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.

It was It :)
