But nevertheless, the data reported by ifconfig ppp0 is "inet addr:aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa P-t-P:aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa" (these two are the same and equal to "Internal IP4 Address"). Isn't this a little strange? Shouldn't the "P-t-P" reported by ifconfig ppp0 be the same as the "Internal IP4 Point-to-Point Address" that appears in daemon.log? Everything works ok, at least on the ppp connection I use, but I still think is strange...
