Forgot to add: If gamma is connected to tilda via ppp connection between the two, tilda 
should have a route defined for gamma. Then, pm1 should still be out of the picture. If 
your whole subnet connects through pm1, then pm1 needs to have all routes defined. So: 
is pm1 yours, or does it belong to your ISP?
