Regarding to ppp & gateway... the machine will route packages if the netmask the ppp is locates is outside the net the machine is in. EX. the ed0 net is 255.255.255.0 and the ip is 1.2.3.x the ppp interface will work as route if the ip is 1.2.5.x if the ed0 netmask is 255.255.255.240 or 0xfffffff0 and ip 1.2.3.4 the ppp interface can be 1.2.3.17... because 17 lies outside netmask F0 Hope this will help.
