I just noticed. I believe your set ifaddr should look like:
set ifaddr 205.206.213.50/24 205.206.213.2/24 ...
assuming your ISP's network is 205.206.213.0
When 'ppp' starts it sets temporary routes in the routing table
based on what you put here which are needed, then replaced
following negotiation
