PPP dialin server (-direct) won't route traffic - sets incorrect gateway on PC

[Andrew Thomas]

I'm trying allow a dialin connection to my 4.8-STABLE
box (although I've tried with my 5.1-CURRENT box with
the same results) via userland ppp.

The modem can connect just fine and I can login to the
machine.  I then start ppp.  However, no matter how I
setup ppp, I cannot get the routing to work.  Yes, the
server side HAS 'gateway_enable="YES"' in rc.conf (the
machine routes for my network already).

I started with an old ppp config file that used to work.
It doesn't anymore.  So, I started following the handbook
pages - even verbatim.  But, the PC side always ends up
with something similar to the following:

Active Routes:

  Network Address          Netmask  Gateway Address        Interface 
Metric
          0.0.0.0          0.0.0.0    192.168.201.2    192.168.201.2

        127.0.0.0        255.0.0.0        127.0.0.1        127.0.0.1

    192.168.201.0    255.255.255.0    192.168.201.2    192.168.201.2

    192.168.201.2  255.255.255.255        127.0.0.1        127.0.0.1

  192.168.201.255  255.255.255.255    192.168.201.2    192.168.201.2   
   1
        224.0.0.0        224.0.0.0    192.168.201.2    192.168.201.2   
   1
  255.255.255.255  255.255.255.255    192.168.201.2    192.168.201.2

----------------------

Notice that there is no 'next hop' (that is always the case,
not matter what ppp.conf looks like).  The gateway address is
*always* the PC address, not the server.  How can the packets
go anywhere with settings like that?  It feels like there's a
bug in ppp where it sends the wrong address to the PC for what
its gateway will be.

Am I missing something?  I've done this before - it was
working fine up until early-ish last year - and it was
a piece of cake.  Now though, I can't get it to work to
save my life.

Can anyone help?  It would be appreciated.

Thanks

Andy

ps A long time ago I sent email to Brian about this but I never
got a response.

pps For completeness...
