?? My mac68k system, running 1.3_BETA kernel and userland, does not have
this problem. Before you start ppp, check and see if netstat -rn reports a
default route. If so, the current ppp code won't be able to set the
default route. Remove that route before starting ppp, and ppp will work
right. (I run into this problem on one of my computers; I should just
remove the configuration in /etc which is giving me this route).

Take care,
