We have users dialing up to our netbsd machine and using ppp.  Each user has
a unique IP address.

Everything is fine, except that the default netmask is 255.255.255.192 (this
is the same as the netmask on the ethernet interface.).  The result is that,
if I want to add a route for a machine in that block, I fail.  For instance,
with 192.129.84.3 (our host),
# route add 192.129.84.133 192.129.84.4

works - except that it's marked as being on ppp0, even though 192.129.84.4
is through le0.

So, I'd add "netmask 255.255.255.255" to the pppd command in our ppplogin -
but if I do that, it drops connection on everyone.  Help!
