He is using an alcatel speedtouch ethernet modem which encapsulates
PPP in PPTP, to allow using PPPoA. The modem has 10.0.0.138 and the host
should have another address in that range.
This page describes a similar but different (there is no ppp0, but eth0)
configuration: http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/diagrams.phtml .
If the modem DHCP server is really providing a gateway then I
consider this a modem bug.

It's not hard. Look at this example configuration:
