You need the following lines in ppp.conf:
ifaddr 127.0.1.1/0 127.0.2.1/0
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
and the following in ppp.linkup:
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
Also, don't use 'ppp -auto default' - it may cause problems. Define a
different name (in ppp.conf & ppp.linkup) - the special name 'default'
will be used too. Check out /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample for some good
examples.

Ok, you've got it pretty much correct. All you need is to insert
fred:
in-between line 6 & 7 in ppp.conf, then append the lines
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
and change MYADDR: to fred: in ppp.linkup. Then 'ppp -auto fred' should
work. The extra two lines in ppp.conf are needed so that you get an
initial route. Without them, you'll need to manually add a route, things
will get a bit mixed up after that.... with the above, no manual "tun"
routes should be done.
