I have had the same problem, I think, for some time. After connecting to my isp's dialup with ppp route will just hang as Mark mentioned. I have just merrily ignored it and manually typed 'route add -net default ppp0' and then it works. Not a big inconvienence, but I have been curious why this happens. I do have defaultroute in my /etc/ppp/options.
