You might also use laptop-net. You can configure multiple network 
configurations. A daemon monitors the ethernet port whether it is connected 
to a network. When a cable is plugged in, it tests which (configured) network 
it is connected to and configures the interface. When the cable is unplugged, 
it deconfigures the if. So, no default route, no problem with pppd. Works 
perfectly for me.
