If you set up ppp with pppconfig, it should have given you the option to
set default route -- this is what you want for the moment. Have a look
at the route command. Your /etc/ppp/peers/provider file should have a
line like:
defaultroute #pppconfig_route
If you execute "route" you'll get a listing of what the OS knows about.
You can manually set the default route with the destination address of
the ppp0 interface.
route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Easier to let ppp do it for you :).
