You need a line saying "add 0 0 x.x.x.x" in your ppp.conf where
x.x.x.x is your ISP's IP (second arg to "set ifaddr", without the
/XX bit).
You should also have a line saying "add 0 0 HISADDR" in ppp.linkup.
If you're doing things manually via "term", once you've been told
you're in "packet mode", type "add 0 0 HISADDR" on the command line.
