If ppp isn't adding a default at startup, it's a document error (now fixed). HISADDR doesn't work in ppp.conf - only in ppp.linkup (and now, ppp.linkdown). Change it to whatever the peers address is and put the "add 0 0 HISADDR" in ppp.linkup. I don't know what you mean by "caps". The "what?" means it didn't understand one of the directives in your config file (this message is now a bit better too), or what you just typed - maybe the one with the default route ?
