Do you have your system configured to be a gatway in /etc/sysconfig?

	# If you want this host to be a gateway, set to YES.
	gateway="YES"

If not, your system will not "forward" packets between interfaces, which
is clearly what you want to happen. ;^)

You must configure your modem to drop the CDC or Carrier Detect signal
when the line hangs up.  If using pppd, make sure the dial-in line has
hangup control 'hupcl' enabled as well (I think IIJPPP does this
automagically).

I hope this helps.
