Hmmm, that's unfortunate... because we have found implementations out
there (such as some version of Windows/NT) that get very confused if
you do not assign a /30 subnet to the actual link, when you are using
the implementation as a router. Do you have sample configurations
available for, say, Windows/NT, when you are routing through the NT
machine to a LAN?

I would wonder why the standard does not allow you to specify
something so basic. I can certainly manually configure ports on
Livingston equipment to have a /30 subnet on the PPP link; I do that
all the time on IRXen.
