[pptp-server] routing problem with pppd

Okay, I believe I've got a simple routing problem but I don't know how to
fix it. Please help!!!
I'm trying to setup a pptp vpn between a Win98 SE client (I-net connected
through dialout to an ISP) and a Linux PoPToP server which is on a LAN
(also I-net connected through dialout to an ISP).
To test everything I've got the PoPToP server (RH6.2), and the Win98 SE
client, both on a 192.168.00 LAN. I can VPN to the linux server and it works
slick (thanx to lots of help from searching this list, the howtos and much
head-banging). But, when I try to connect via the ISP link, the server isn't
responding.
I've got the server doing demand dialing, and when I get the IP address from
its ppp0 interface, I use that to try to connect with the Win client. Seems
simple, but this routing thing is driving me crazy. Yep, I'll admit it --
I'm a neophyte and am trying to learn all this stuff on my own, but I'd
really appreciate it if someone could take a look at this output and give me
a clue before I lose any more hair. BTW, ipchains is wide open for purposes
of the testing; I' pretty sure that's not the problem. Check out the
messages from the log below related to the routes and proxyarp.
Here's my options file:
#/etc/ppp/options
+chapms
+chapms-v2
mppe-40
mppe-128
mppe-stateless
proxyarp
demand
debug
idle 120
ipcp-accept-remote
ipcp-accept-local
mru 1500
lock
noauth
defaultroute
user powerplt
remotename *
modem 57600 crtscts
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/dialout-chat'
I start pppd like this:
<pppd /dev/modem file /etc/ppp/options.dialout :dns-server>
<tail /var/log/messages>
