What should the default gateway in the laptop be set to?  It might the problem 
because right now I've got no default gateways set in the laptop!

NO

According to the ppp man page it should be working:

     ...If network applications
     work correctly on the ppp host, but not on other machines in the LAN,
     then the masquerading software is working properly, but the host is ei­
     ther not forwarding or possibly receiving IP packets.  Check that IP for­
     warding is enabled in /etc/rc.conf and that other machines have designat­
     ed the ppp host as the gateway for the LAN.
