What are you dialing into? annex?
Generally ppp connections look like so..
Annex------------>PPP----------->ed0---------------|
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 205.134.198.1 205.134.198.2 |
Default Route: annex |
Win95
205.134.198.3
Default route: 205.134.198.2
Route on annex would be..
Destination Gateway Netmask Metric
205.134.198.0 annex 255.255.255.0 1
ie.
route add 205.134.198.0 255.255.255.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 1
Setup of your machine would be.
in /etc/sysconf
ifconfig_ed0="inet 203.134.198.1 netmask 0xffffff00"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
routedflages=''
and your pppd options would be..
defaultroute (and device, etc)

PS: easiest way to test, ie. see who's end is at fault, is to ping from
both ends and look at modem lights.
