ppp.linkup is pretty broken. I know here that it doesn't work. Once you
get linked up, you should just type 'add 0 0 HISADDR' to add the proper
route.

You should make a new entry for your ISP with the proper settings (device,
speed, login sequence).
My profile is as follows:
uonet:
set phone 3466520
disable pred1
deny pred1
set login "TIMEOUT 5 Username:-\\r-Username: blah word: blah UOnet ppp"
set ifaddr
set timeout 0
This sets me up for fully dynamic addresses.

OK there.

Do NOT ifconfig tun0; ppp will do it for you.
I personally set routed=NO since I've had bad experiences with routed.

Are you sure this is the problem? Did you check /var/log/ppp.log? Do you
require any special authentication?

The other information isn't needed -- it's exchanged when the ppp session
is negotiated.
