Hmm, that's not very helpful.

No routes ?  How are you running ppp ?

Looks ok.  What about your port and speed etc ?  Have you got a 
ppp.linkup file ?  Have you got a dynamic or static IP ?  Have you 
set up your nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf ?  Have you read the man 
page on how to setup ppp with an ISP ?

Not really without more info.  Check out 

  http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/userppp.html

for details of how to post problems (and possible solutions).
