Have to admit I'm still running this other software on that router (where I can assign any address and get dynamic ip address assignement on both sides of the link) :-( Yes, you are right. The 0.0.0.0 and 0.0.0.1 hack are realy ugly hacks and have to go. I talked to Gary about this right after they came in and he basically agreed, but wanted to keep our sppp as close as possible to the standard sppp in the FreeBSD tree. The flag in sppcontrol is the right way to go. We need "we-have-dynamic-ip" and "they-have-dynamic-ip" flags. So now: let's either break our incompatibility with the standard sppp even more or move the standard sppp to a clean solution (or do the former right now and the later as soon as possible).
