You need to reset your routes. In ppp.conf, you need
ifaddr me him
add 0 0 HISADDR
where "him" may be a guess at what the other IP number might be. However,
in ppp.linkup, you need
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
So that you can remove the incorrect route and create a correct default
to the "actual" other side that was assigned.
