Dns is set up by ppp "set dns"
I don't have numbers for www.freebsd.org, test.com is my gateway 192.168.1.3

Nat option was given at the ppp command line "nat enable yes" prior to
manual dialing. default route was set up in ppp.conf using the handbook
instructions.
In /etc/rc.conf you should have:
>
> ppp_enable="NO"
> ppp_mode="auto"
> ppp_nat="YES"
> ppp_profile="whatever-yours-is-called" "papchap"

In my /etc/defaults/rc.conf I have these +
ppp_user="root"
