It looks like to me you need a default route to the gateway on ATT's
network. I ususally use linuxconf to set this stuff up. Not sure the tool
you are using to set this stuff up but on one of my redhat 6.2 boxes the
file of interest is /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0. the DEFROUTE
option should be set to YES. If you have set this all up manually, you
should be able to add a line in /etc/ppp/options that will also set the
default route. I forget what it is but man pppd is your friend. It is a
very complete man page but does not necessarily describe some of the things
that RedHat is doing in the distribution.
Linuxconf and chech the default route check box for your ppp connection
should get you going.
Hope this helps.
