if this situation is reached, try "route -n" and have a look at the
defaultroute, which should read like 

   0.0.0.0     <ip of remote host> 0.0.0.0     UG    0     0     0 ppp0

if there is none, try adding the line:

   defaultroute

to the /etc/diald/diald.conf. If even this fails, you can manually reset
the defaultroute in the /etc/ppp/ip-up and ip-down scripts. Read
the "route" manpage for how to do it.

Greetings,
Tilman.
