Got it. You mean that the negotiation (at socket open time) is only
between
the two _ends_, and cannot take into account any intermediate hop.

I stand corrected ... but in that case, shouldn't pppd default to

I know that pppd may also be used on ethernet (e.g. by ssh) but 
this is probably not the most common use ...
