What actually is the problem?  That is, what can the client not do
that you want done?  Do packets actually flow from the client to
your server?

There is no way via the PPP protocol itself to set a default route.
That has to be done on the client as an action when the link comes up.
And since there's no ARP over PPP, the notion of ..0.99 as the default
route makes no sense.
