Don't use the defaultroute parameter to pppd unless you want pppd to
add the default route so that it points to the ppp device. If you wish
to leave the default route alone, then don't include the parameter.

There was an error in one of the early versions which would allow this
to happen as the device route. The current code will not accept a
remote IP address of 0.0.0.0 so you should not have a problem.
