I have the same problem on newer kernels.  What is going on it pppd is not
adding and arp entry to match your ip address with it's own hardware address 
and this causes a problem to fix this this is what I've done.

#!/bin/sh
/sbin/arp -s 206.142.5.4 00:A0:24:37:06:DE pub

This is a crappy work arounf and if everyone else knows how to fix please tell
me.  It is not a setting in the kernel because diplogin does this correctly.
Also 1.3.85 will not set the arp entry for dip or pppd either.  There is no
feature in the kernel under 'make config' for proxy arp.  there is reverse arp
there is no assume subnets are local either.


Thanks,
Christopher Fowler
