Routing problem.

Ah, this is the trouble. You already have a default route, so pppd
is not replacing it. You want to make your ethernet a network route,
not a default one, and then it'll work. You may need to modify
your startup scripts to do this. OTOH, some systems (e.g. Red Hat)
are smart enough to do it right if you just don't specify a gateway
in the config tool.
