Oh, I see: this is because of the remote address is not updated and stays
at 0.0.0.1, matching the 127.0.0.1/0xff00000 routing entry?

So fixing if_spppsubr.c to update the remote address during IPCP negotiation
and maybe restoring it to 0.0.0.1 (i.e. the saved original one) later should
fix this, IIUC.

Am I correct?
