I had some similar problem when I was first getting used to PPP. After
some experimentation I found out that I had to do something like this:

add 0 0 <gateway IP>

The IP number of my ISP's terminal server is the gateway address I use. I
haven't found a way to make it completely automatic yet as I keep getting
a different terminal server each time I dial up. Default route stuff (I
think). 

Do a "show route" from the PPP > prompt when you next make an attempt. You
need to look out for an entry maked default. 

I hope my hotch-potch help helps.

Cheers, Joel...
