(The boldest example is p2p interface with > reserved addresses assigned for its ends) Why are you using reserved IP addresses for the ends? PPP interfaces can use an ethernet interface IP address quite happily, unless you are talking to a box which does not support this, but even NT does (although NT can't use the same IP *subnet* on ethernet and PPP.) Alternatively, use very small subnets (255.255.255.252 netmask) and use real IP addresses. As a last resort you can re-ifconfig a PPP interface with a 'real' IP address after it has been brought up.
