After you get the "PPP ON mercury>" prompt, you need to issue the command "delete ALL", followed by "add 0 0 HISADDR", to get a default route. This won't work if your ICMP info doesn't get passed, but should work fine otherwise. The file /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup can contain commands to be run after the link has been established, in the same form as the ppp.conf file.
