Arrrrggghhh. *That's* where people got this idea from.
I've never installed using ppp, but did update the handbook entry
recently. This is a problem. The "ppp0" bit of your
"network_interfaces" variable is bogus. It's not necessary, and
only confuses things. If you remove it, and use the "pmdemand"
example in ppp.conf.sample, things should work fine.
