Did you ever resolve this?
You can check your routing with "netstat -rn" -- "r" for routing,
"n" for "don't bother resolving the numbers to names".
Under "Destination" there should be a "default" after you dial
up to point to the ppp0 interface with a "G" under "Flags".
(Unless of course, you want your default route to go somewhere else,
like your local lan or an ethernet somewhere else).
