Here's my entry for my service provider:
vector:
# set phone 288-0888
set phone 332-9001
set login "ername: XXXXX ssword: XXXXXXXXXXXX"
set ifaddr 206.11.194.29 206.11.195.1/0
add 0 0 206.11.195.1
My address is static, so I don't have to mess with that, but the
example files show how to make your local address dynamic. To be able
to use a dynamically assigned address on the other end, I put the /0
at the end to tell ppp that the entire address could be wrong, then I
add my guess at the other end's address, which gets rewritten upon
linkup.

I haven't seen much on this except for that its not possible.
Is it possible to use dial ondemand ppp when addresses at
both ends of the links are unknown and establisted dynamically
by ppp??
Or is there some trick to make this work like
establishing a static default route to a "fake" addr and then
rewrite the routes after link up.
