Uncomment the 'ifconfig' and 'route' lines. They have nothing to do wilt
your problem, and you need them.

A bad floppy. You should always make several copies.

Purge ppp (dpkg --purge ppp) and reinstall it. I doubt that will help,
though. What does /etc/ppp/options look like? Have you tried to use any
of the ppp packages such as kppp or wvdial? Some of these do weird stuff
to the ppp config files.
Run 'route -n' and post the output.
