[ale] pppd problem

[Eric Z. Ayers]

You might try 'noauth' on the pppd command line.  From the man page:

       auth   Require  the  peer  to  authenticate  itself before
              allowing network packets to be  sent  or  received.
              This  option  is  the  default  if the system has a
              default route.  If  neither  this  option  nor  the
              noauth  option  is  specified, pppd will only allow
              the peer to use IP addresses to  which  the  system
              does not already have a route.
