You can add routes to the sites you want to apt-get from to the kernel
routing table with:

  route add -host ftp.debian.org ppp0
  route add -host ftp.netgod.net ppp0

to force connections to those sites through ppp.  And/Or do things
similar to eth0.  But you can not make all connections on a terminal
go through a specific interface..  AFAIK
