Sorry for cutting into this thread, but I see there is a local Ethernet 
defined. It is possible the Ethernet is set as default gateway so preventing 
Internet traffic from using dialup.
You can test this by typing in a root terminal
'route'  You will then get a display of known routes. If one of them shows the 
default route as being via eth0 then that is the problem. To fix it for the 
current session

route del default
route add default ppp0
