Nooooo .... it arrives there by magic every time you reboot!
What do you think? Of course there is a file there that contains the
default route instruction. Grep for it below your /etc/ directory.

XFree certainly did not do that . Maybe something else did.
Anyway, put the line
route del default
at the end of your rc.local file (in /etc/rc.d on RedHat Mandrake)
until you figure out what is setting up the default route for you.
You do not tell us anything we could use to help you.

Add it, and pppd will make the modem your default route when you're
connected.
