What you need is this in your ppp.conf:

 set ifaddr 196.7.124.231/24 196.7.0.135/24 
 add 0 255.255.255.0 HISADDR                

The /24 means that only the first 24 bits of the IP address specified
 are significant, ie your machine does not care so long as, in this case, 
the gateway address is between 196.7.0.1 and 196.7.0.255
