In addition Careful. There are two ppp's in FreeBSD and they store their configs in the same directory, /etc/ppp. The ppp.conf file is used by User PPP. pppd uses options as the main config file. > to this I have files in /etc/ppp such as: > > options.ttyd0 > options.ttyd1 > > etc. > > These assign the addresses used for my dialin modem pool...

Looking in the FILES section of the pppd manual page the order of processing config files is options, ~/.ppprc, cmd line, options.ttyname. Since options.ttyname is overriding ~/.ppprc, the user gets the IP address specified in options.ttyname. > > The system connecting to it is another FreeBSD box, the server doesn't > offer the client the .129 address, and if the client asks for the .129 > address it gets refused... > > Am I able to set things up this way?

The ipcp-accept-remote option (in ~/.ppprc) will allow address negotiation. See the manual page where it describes local_ip_address:remote_ip_address.
