Help!

I'm trying to get my FreeBSD 2.1.5 running PPP with my local provider.
So far I've set up the following files...

In the /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1		localhost
204.249.255.200		teddy.usa1.com teddy

I made up the number for teddy.usa1.com because my local provider will
dynamically assign me an IP.

In the /etc/sysconfig file:
network_interfaces="lo0 tun0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
ifconfig_tun0="inet teddy.usa1.com 204.249.224.1 netmask 0xffffffff"

User PPP dials successfully when I type:

ppp> dial simplesite

But the connection won't let me route to the world until I type:

PPP> add 0 0 HISADDR

My netstat -r before user ppp:

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif
Expire localhost          localhost          UH          0        0   
   lo0 204.249.224.1      teddy              UH          0        0   
  tun0 204.249.255.200/32 localhost          Uc          0        0   
   lo0


My netstat -r after user ppp:

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif
Expire default            cs1-wak-ma.usa1.ne UGc        17        6   
  tun0 localhost          localhost          UH          0       14   
   lo0 wakma1-5           local              UH          0        0   
   lo0

netstat after user ppp never returns, but hangs.  Netscape and Mosaic
both refuse to load.

Any ideas of what's going on?  Please e-mail any suggestions 
directly...
