If you're running ppp from after May 98, it doesn't matter where these are, as long as you use HISADDR. However, before Jan 6, '99, you'd see the (harmless) warning. I was eventually convinced that the warning was bogus :-) With any version of ppp after Jan 6, you can get away with just the ``add default HISADDR'' in ppp.conf only (ppp.linkup isn't really needed at all). The warning is suppressed because the sticky route is being added (so the command is considered successful). Ppp does an implicit ``delete all'' at startup, and has done for some time, so that's redundant now too.
