Nike, have a look at the routing table. The default route IS going to the 
ethernet card.

By default, if you install an ethernet card the defualt route is 
automatically created for you.

PPP will NOT override the existing default route. You'll see in 
/var/log/messages something about "Not Replacing existing default route"

Either edit the network scripts to remove the default route to your 
network card or manually do the default route in an ppp-up script 
something like :
route delete default
route add default ppp0 
(I think you can specify device names, if not the ip address is passed as 
a parameter to the ppp-up script).

Regards..
