Indeed. My ppp.conf has got this "add default HISADDR" as well.
Your ifaddr line doesn't look too different from mine. You have
chosen just a different IP address which doesn't look to me would make
any difference.
Going on with my tests I've found out another weird behavior. If I
substitute the ifaddr line with:
set ifaddr 0 0 255.255.255.0. 0.0.0.0
and then I run ppp manually ("ppp -auto" would refuse to start), the
first time I succeed to connect properly, while every subsequent dial
fails with the same error as with the original ifaddr. I have to quit
ppp and run it again to be able to negotiate properly with my ISP.
Weird, isn't it?
