what does the output of the "/sbin/route" command say?  If it doesn't
include a line beginning with "default" and ending with "ppp0" then you
need to add the option "defaultroute" to your /etc/ppp.options_out.
(Assuming that you're using the supplied debian "pon" command to start
ppp)

For reference, my /etc/ppp.options_out contains:
bsdcomp 15 crtscts defaultroute noipdefault /dev/modem 38400 modem
