ipcp-accept-local
With this option, pppd will accept the peer's idea
of our local IP address, even if the local IP
address was specified in an option.
ipcp-accept-remote
With this option, pppd will accept the peer's idea
of its (remote) IP address, even if the remote IP
address was specified in an option.
Using these 2 options in your 'options' file, you should have your ISP
assign both addresses for you.
Folks, I *will* get some PPP docs out hopefully by this weekend. Lets
everyone calm down about the lack of docs, and see what I can come up with.
