You have set the `defaultroute' option to PPP. This is its intended effect.

Ooooooh, an ASCII-gram.
First: read up on the 'ip' tool that comes with iproute2.
Second: set up /etc/ppp/ip-up.local scripts (not exactly sure what Mandrake
uses for that, but that's what RedHat uses) to dynamically reroute
to the correct interfaces
Third: make a multipath route over the two ppp links. This will dynamically
balance packets over the two links, based on the destination adresses.
Hope this helps.
Doei, Arthur.
