Setting the 'defaultroute' in /etc/ppp/options is not enough. When I installed Debian, I selected the defaultroute option for my network card. When PPPD would try to add a defaultroute for the ppp0 interface, it wouldn't do it because a defaultroute already existed. This prevented me from communicating over the ppp0 interface. To fix the problem, I edited /etc/init.d/network and commented out the line that added the defaultroute for the network card. I rebooted, and everything worked fine.
