As I understand it, it justs sets up a certain IP to report to the dialup
connections regardless of what the actual ethernet interface IP is. You
could look at it as a "virtual interface". That way you can deal with
software that HAS to know the other end's IP, even if you are connecting
with several PM's all with different ether addresses. You just give them
all the same IP number for "set reported"
