Once upon a time Gilles Boily ing. shaped the electrons to say...

No, we do not support DHCP.

We support RFC 1877 which allows them to get their DNS info during PPP.

I believe we also support BOOTP requests for info.

But even that should be more than they need. If they have dialin networking
configured then PPP will give them their IP and 1877 their DNS info.

What more do they need for a dialin link?

DHCP was meant to fast configure machines on a LAN.
