PPP dies early / some progress

I have made some progress towards solving the problem. It
turns out that my machine insisted on having the IP address
for the session with my ISP, which is used as address for the
serial device on incoming connections. I have defined this in
my /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0. If I remove that entry, the connection
gets established. Now I have to find a way to use the serial interface
for both incoming and outgoing connections. Any ideas?
Unfortunately, after this not all is well. After pppd exchanges IP
addresses, it reports something like:
ppp not replacing default route to eth0[192.168.1.255]
This is my network board. So I am still not talking to the
world. The /etc/ppp/options file my provider has provided reads:
> # /etc/ppp/options -*- sh -*- general options for pppd
> asyncmap 0
> crtscts
> defaultroute
> lock
> modem
> netmask 255.255.255.0
> -detach
It probably does not take ethernet boards into account.
Could any of you guru's out there point me in some direction
where to tackel this one? Very much obliged,
