What does netstat -r show when your PPP commection is up? What are you using to dial the PPP conection? A script? A GUI based dialer? Which user are you running it as? If you're using a script - do you have the "defaultroute" option in it? What does /etc/ppp/options say? Give us a bit more info, and someone will probably be able to help.
