I can't put my finger on the right doc either, but I'm sure I read somewhere
that 255.255.255.255 is the proper mask for any PPP connection. I know I
certainly don't set the net mask and whenever my ppp connection is active,
ifconfig shows a netmask of 255.255.255.255.
Yes, hopefully someone will come along and clear this all up.
