Sounds very much like your dialin pppd session is changing your default
route. Check the man pages for ppp options, you can prevent that from
happening.
You could always add the routing info to the server dialin answer script.
(this would
be a kludge to get things working as a last resort.

Yes! you would need a login script on the server to handle it You could
configure
DHCP to do the IP assigning for PPPD sessions on ttSxx lines or use DNS.
