I believe you still need to set the address of the remote end, or at
least specify a range of addresses that are acceptable... e.g. from my
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf:

 set ifaddr 158.152.50.150 158.152.1.194/16

So I'll connect to anything in the 158.152 class B IP address
space... I'm not sure if `0' works like you are expecting.
