Probably pppd in the Bo ppp package is not compiled with IPX support.
At least, the Bo ppp packages I used were crippled in terms of IPX,
but I don't know if a Bo update of package ppp solved this problem.

The ppp package in Hamm has IPX support and in fact I am using it
(works perfectly).
If you want to stick to Bo you can always grab the source package for
ppp and compiled it yourself, enabling IPX support.
