Hi,
This was a problem in the 2.2.6 release, but does not manifest itself
in the latest version (or the -stable version).
The problem is due to the peer IP number being set to 0.0.0.0 (the
default). The reason it's rearing its ugly head in your case is
because you haven't indented the ``set openmode active'' line in your
config and ppp stops reading your configuration entry at that point
as a result - missing the ``set ifaddr'' line.
Indenting the ``set openmode'' line should solve the problem.

This is where ppp is mis-behaving.

It looks like your ISP is acting a bit strangely as a result :-)

It seems to be fine, but I haven't tested it against any other
implementations except mpd (I have no access to the required
hardware).
