In fact, I'm pretty convinced that it _should_ work with a fixed remote, and
no local address. Routing of point to point interfaces does only depend on 
the remote address... all you need is to tell the kernel that some packets
have to get out that interface (which would trigger the dialling), so a
route must be there, but you don't need a real local address for that.
Some unrouted one might be used as a hack.
