trying running routed with the "-q" option.  This will keep
routed from broadcasting your routes and it will keep routed
from expecting route broadcasts from your isp.  As I understand
it with the routed "-s" option routed will timeout all non-static
routes that are not kept updated from broadcasts from a
neighboring router(your isp's).

This of course doesn't explain why your not getting pings back.
during the first 3 minutes you should be able to get packets out
and back......do you have 

ifaddr 0 0

in your ppp.conf file? and

MYADDR:
 add 0 0 HISADDR

in your ppp.linkup file?
