Bearing in mind that when assigning a destination address, you must
use a prefixlens of 128, you need to do this in ppp:
iface add 3ffe:1800:100:1::1 3ffe:1800:100:1::2
add 3ffe:1800:100:1::2/48 3ffe:1800:100:1::1

Sure - with ``iface add'' to assign interface addresses and ``add''
to add routes - that's what I was hinting at in my original mail.
