Routing fails, of course.
Does anyone recognize the problem or have a 
suggestion?  Can anyone explain the complaint
about the pass-filter?

If you have a line in ppp.conf that looks like:
        add default HISADDR
... try changing it to:
        add! default HISADDR
This will force PPP to overwrite whatever currently configured default 
route that you have.
