I thought that message meant that something explicit needed to be put on the 'set ifaddr' command in the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file entry so the routing tables could be setup. (???) If I remember correctly, I got that error message and that's what prompted me to put one or both of these lines: set ifaddr 10.0.2.15 198.145.127.9/22 add 0 255.255.255.0 198.145.127.9 in my ppp.conf file at home (for connecting to a SLiRP connection at work).
