I need help with simple routing problem

I'm trying to get things up and running with relakks. I've got my pptp connection going, but I can't figure out what to do with my routing to make it all work.

Remove your default route for eth0 and insert a new one for ppp0. After doing this all traffix that isn't processed by a earlier route is then sent to ppp0.

That's what I suspected, but I can't figure out how to actually do that. Route has a very confusing syntax. Can you give me the command?

I'm guessing I add a new route with

# route add default ppp0

When I do that, however, my machine freezes for a couple of minutes, and when it comes back, my pptp connection has been terminated, and the route is not added. Is that the correct syntax?

If so, perhaps my problem lies with my pptp connection.
