They look ok to my untrained eye.  The question I guess is to ask
what should the routing for the isp and the dns servers look like.
ifconfig show the PPP interface up and set as 0.0.0.0 (default ? no?)
and I don't remember all of what route indicates.

No other boxes between me and the isp.

Thanks for the thought.
