wwwoffle knows a "offline" and a "online" mode (and a "autodial" mode
to list them all).

When you get online, you have to set wwwoffle into online mode as
well. This should be configured already.

Check the directory /etc/ppp/ip-up.d
There should be a file wwwoffle. It has to be executable and should
read:

#!/bin/sh -e                                                                    
## This script is run when the ppp link goes up.                                
## It simply puts wwwoffle online.                                              
                                                                                
wwwoffle -online

In /etc/ppp/ip-down.d, you have a wwwoffle script to put it into
offline mode.

Also make sure you actually call these scripts. In /etc/ppp/ip-up,
there should be a line
run-parts /etc/ppp/ip-up.d 

Analogous in ip-down.
