The problem is that when ppp is *not* in -auto mode, it doesn't
bother configuring the interface until it's actually agreed an IP
number with the peer. The ``add'' line is actioned immediately, and
fails.
So, your config is fine for -auto mode, but it's better to have the
``add'' in ppp.linkup for any other mode. Things still work though
because you're using ``HISADDR'' as this makes it a sticky route, and
your eventual interface configuration causes a re-application of all
sticky routes.
