Try adding defaultroute to the pppd command.  For example :
pppd -d -detach defaultroute /dev/ttyS1 38400 &  .

You should add the default option to pppd.

Something more like this should work:

pppd /dev/cua1 57600 lock -detach crtscts modem asyncmap 0 defaultroute

A lot of the routing stuff is in the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 file under slackware neweydunno about
redhat

  u should also be able to add a default route by typing default add defaultroute, etc
all this stuff is in the ppp-howto
u also need a gateway
and make sure ur dns is pointing to ur isp
or it wont be able to resolve names or numbers
hope this helps
but yuh cant beat the howtos :)
