I just sent Hellmuth a patch to make this (phk's change) work. There's
even a manpage for sppp in there.

Once it gets incorporated you can *not* supply just any old address for
the ISP's end. You MUST give him 0.0.0.1 if you want his address to be
dynamically assigned. It's all explained in the sppp manpage.

I suggest looking at the isdn4bsd FAQ. I put an entry in it explaining
how to go about getting sPPP working. Doesn't anybody _look_ at the
documentation ?
