We've had an experience where the portmaster would return an IP of
0.0.0.0. It causes PPP connections to hang, but only farks up SLIP
connections. This was under 3.1.3. Upgrading to 3.1.4 fixed the problem
as far as we've been able to tell. (There are more reasons than just
that to upgrade to 3.1.4 anyway).

If you're currently running 3.1.4, er, I haven't a clue. :)
