Umm .. OTTOMH ..

On ppp as root or in a startup script:
route add -net 192.168.0.0 nm 255.255.255.0 eth0
route add -net 192.168.2.0 nm 255.255.255.0 eth1

(assuming eth0 and eth1 are the respective interfaces to those network segments)

man route for more options/details but it seems like you simply wish to route between the networks (unless I have the question wrong?)
