Thanks Adam, I figured this out. I had added a default route for IPCop and so I guess kppp would not add it's default route entry when one already existed. The frustrating thing was that kppp did not complain about not being able to add the entries and that's made the problem harder to diagnose. What I don't remember is how I added the route entry for IPCop. I thought that these had to be added into a file so they would be set when the system boots. I thought that I just added the IPCop route from the command line and so it should have disappeared when the system booted.
