Yep - you're missing the ifaddr line. My ppp.conf says:
default:
set device /dev/cuaa0
set speed 115200
disable lqr
deny lqr
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATZ OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 45 CONNECT"
set debug Phase Chat LCP
demon:
set phone 901716640666
set login "TIMEOUT 10 login:-\\r-login: awfulhak word: xxxxxxxx ocol: PPP TIMEOUT 60 HELLO"
set dfilter 0 permit 0/0 158.152.1.222
set timeout 600
set openmode active
set ifaddr 158.152.17.1 158.152.1.222/16
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
and my ppp.linkup says:
demon:
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
I run "ppp -auto demon".
You probably don't want the dfilter line - that restricts me so that I
must try to send a packet to 158.152.1.222 before the line comes up.
I have a permanent IP number (158.152.17.1). If you don't, take a
guess at an IP number, and put a "/0" after it. This means that
you don't care what IP number you're given. I connect to 158.152.1.222
all the time, but will accept connections to 158.152.*.*
