I wanted to include the output of plog:

$ plog
Nov 17 11:43:16 localhost pppd[4242]: PAP authentication succeeded
Nov 17 11:43:16 localhost pppd[4242]: peer from calling number 
00:D0:BA:04:D4:82 authorized
Nov 17 11:43:16 localhost pppd[4242]: not replacing default route to 
eth0 [192.168.0.3]
Nov 17 11:43:16 localhost pppd[4242]: Cannot determine ethernet address 
for proxy ARP
Nov 17 11:43:16 localhost pppd[4242]: local  IP address 141.xxx.xx.xx
Nov 17 11:43:16 localhost pppd[4242]: remote IP address 10.x.xx.x
Nov 17 11:43:16 localhost pppd[4242]: primary   DNS address 151.197.0.38
Nov 17 11:43:16 localhost pppd[4242]: secondary DNS address 151.197.0.39

The DNS and remote IP are correct as confirmed by a working connection.

The modem is on eth1.  Eth0 is the lan and the address is indeed 
192.168.0.3.

Any ideas what could be wrong?
