I missed the original message, but I'll assume you're only net (internet
or
otherwise) connection is through your dialup to your ISP. If this is the
case
the only route you need is a default route to the other end of the PPP
link.
You can write an "ip-up" script which pppd will run and set the route
there.
pppd will pass the IP address which you'll need for the 'route add' as a
parameter
to the script.
