I got non-demand PPP working fairly well, but the dial on demand
connects every 30 seconds - I believe it is routed sending out routing
infomation.  Should I change the flags to routed, turn it off, or does
it sound like I have my network set up wrong???

I am using SLIRP on the other end, which gives me a constant address
of something like 10.2.1.15, with the connecting machine in a range.
I'm not really sure what I should be doing here, as I'm just
bootrapping - ijppp seems to want a fixed address for the dial on
demand stuff, no?
