I got two answers (both authors were BCC:ed). Reply #1 was:

I don't think so. The manual page for pppd says:
netmask n
Set the interface netmask to n, a 32 bit netmask in
"decimal dot" notation (e.g. 255.255.255.0). If
this option is given, the value specified is ORed |
with the default netmask. The default netmask is |
chosen based on the negotiated remote IP address;
it is the appropriate network mask for the class of
the remote IP address, ORed with the netmasks for |
any non point-to-point network interfaces in the |
system which are on the same network. |
The default netmask for the non point-to-point interface on the
server is 255.255.255.192.
255.255.255.192
255.255.255.0
OR _______________
255.255.255.192
(And just for the record, I have tried with "netmask 255.255.255.192"
in /etc/ppp/options without any luck)

To be honest, I haven't tried with Windows. Does someone use a similar
setup with Windows?
