Check your routed flags in /etc/sysconfig. I haven't got my machine in front of me, but there's a flag which stops it broadcasting it's routing information. The ppp link comes up in order to broadcast routing tables to your ISP (not that they probably care :). >From memory the default routed flag is -s, change this to -q and you should be right. Read the man page to check my info. Alternatively don't run routed (gateway=NO).
