You did miss an  important  step:  provide  us  will  all  the  needed
information. The results of:

ifconfig -a
netstat -r

and more complete information about your setup of PPP.

It  seems  that  there  is  no  (correct?)  route  set  up to the ppp0
interface. When using the kernel-based ppp implementation, this should
be done automatically when the interface is brought up, so I wonder if
the  address  and netmask the ppp0 interface gets correspond with that
of your ISP.
