Actually it's not a problem iff your routing table is set up
correctly.  I used a very similar setup for years.

The trick is to know the IP of the other end of the PPP link.
On box 2, set
   route add default remote-IP
   route add remote-IP gw 203.x.x.123

On box 1, set
   route add default remote-IP
You can do this semi-automagicly if you're running routed or gated.
