If your ISP uses static IP use the following..

PPP> set ifaddr my.ip.ip.ip gateway.ip.ip.ip 255.255.255.0

..otherwise, if it's dynamic..

PPP> set ifaddr 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0
                           ^
                           |
If you know your ISP's gateway address replace the second
set of IP #'s with it.

add 0 0 HISADDR

Type that in exactly as shown, ppp will substitute HISADDR for
the peer's gateway address.
