Frm man pppd:
defaultroute
Add a default route to the system routing tables, using the peer
as the gateway, when IPCP negotiation is successfully completed.
This entry is removed when the PPP connection is broken. This
option is privileged if the nodefaultroute option has been spec-
ified.
This implies that a default route will not be created by pppd if the
"defaultroute" option is not supplied to pppd. Check your pppd options.
