Well, I guess it's supposed to set up my peer as the default gateway. 

tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1492
        inet6 fe80::20a:e6ff:fe4a:56c2%tun0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5

It's on a different network certainly. But, 

Internet:

it did put the default route in place. 

Perhaps it's just complaining because the route is already there, and ppp
restarted.
