Not without at least:
- The part of all IPs after last dot.
- Type of hardware device 203.xx.xxx.www (regular router or NAT
router?).
- Is ppp0 dialin or dialout?
- What path leads to the internet?

But your routing definitely does NOT match your description. It is also
possible that eth0 is configured with incorrect netmask and broadcast.

For one thing, you are NOT routing everything to 203.xx.xxx.www (just
203.xx.xxx.uuu/29 subnet, assuming 203.xx.xxx.uuu is a proper network IP).

For another thing, your ppp0 routing does not make any sense, and should
generate an error, because you have no ppp0 route for your default gw IP.

So you definitely have something wrong in your routing, but we cannot tell
exactly what with such insufficient data.
