Reading your initial posting, this kind of route setting isn't necessary
at all. Just make sure no ethernet device is setting a default route so
that the PPP device can not set it for itself. How?

a) Make sure /etc/sysconfig/network contains no GATEWAY / GATEWAYDEV
entry
b) Make sure any /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX config file
contains a GATEWAY setting either
c) Make sure /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 contains a
DEFROUTE=yes setting

That would be a clean setting. I would bet you now have at least 2
default routes set which would be broken.
