Take a look at the current document about this (section 12.1):

http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html 

and the example (pmdemand):

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup.sample

I suspect you've got routed running and it's deleting your default route.

As far as the core's concerned, you could try downloading the current
sources from

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/usr.sbin/ppp

I believe they still compile on 2.1.
