Dear -isdn readers, we are talking about the actual behavior of

If "isp1" is a valid address in this context: it doesn't change.
Here a little bit of cut&paste (your "#if 0" patch is applied)
which perhaps gives you a hint what I have here:

isp1 gets a new IP address after the ppp negotiation of sppp/isdnd.
0.0.0.0 -> 0.0.0.1 uses a documented hack in the i4b stack which
discards the first packet to don't let go a packet with a wrong address
(0.0.0.0) out of the computer. After a timeout or an "ifconfig isp1
down" it hangs up and the dynamic IP address of isp1 get's replaced by
0.0.0.0 again. The actual behavior of -current breaks the documented way
of enabling dial-on-demand with sppp/isdnd.
(To -isdn readers: after the first "ifconfig isp1 down" the defaultroute
vanishes, after a manual "route add default -interface isp1" the route
stays even with subsequent "ifconfig isp1 down", doing an additional
"route add ..." is annoying, needs additional privileges and violates
POLA)
Bye,
Alexander.
