Oops I just miss reading your mail. I just want to say I don't need
example for "192.0.0.1" as I mentioned prvious my mail. But I still
need to response/comments/disc ussion for relating you did for ppp.

We should investgate this problem as two issue.

First of all. I guss the using "0.0.0.0" ip addr is OK not for dial on
demand mode. Because it's never seen as ip address befor connection
made.  But for dail on demand mode, it's can see one of real
address. So I beleive we should assign a private address (RFC1579)
avoiding confliction in world.

Second. I couldn't understand why James ISP's PPP never try to
negotiate his specified address unless using magic "0.0.0.0"
address. I think it's wrong implementation but if it is getting one of
*standard*, I have idea to do a trick and do a right commit :-)

Atsushi.

P.S. James, Could you send me your ppp.log both "0.0.0.0" and "192.0.0.1" ?
