why does a requested IP of 0.0.0.0 get converted to
192.0.0.1 in ipcp.c line 164 ?


  if (icp->want_ipaddr.s_addr == 0)
    icp->want_ipaddr.s_addr = htonl(0xc0000001);


My provider expected an IP of 0.0.0.0 to indicate a dynamic ppp connection
and this "feature" did cause a bit of confusion as a ifaddr 0 0
does not really work.

Thanks
