I agree. And I'm not a big fan of DHCP, either. Are people actually implementing PAP yet? One big problem is that most RAS clients on MS boxes (Windows 95 without the "Plus! Pack" and Windows NT prior to 4.x) do not do auto connection on the basis of routing information... ie: demand dial PPP. An application has to be RAS aware, or a human has to establish the connection. Bleah. But they are much better at being DHCP clients than a BSD box can generally stumble through. 8-(.
