Delete the default route to your gateway on staring your ppp connection
and add it back in when it the coonnection drops.

man route is your friend.

You could probaly put this in a script that drops the default route,
runs ppp for you and then listens/checks for when the connection is
dropped and deletes the route.

Thats how I would set it up if it was me.
