It's possible that the default route isn't being created properly. What's the output of route after the connection has been brought up?
If a different default route is present, you'll need to remove it and add one for the dialup connection. Once you get the IP/Gateway info, use this: route add default gw <PPP server IP> ppp0 (or whatever your dialup interface shows up as) Hope this helps...
