Re: remote ip

[Robert Waldner <waldner@Austria.EU.net>]

depending on which kind of access-server your provider uses, at least with
cisco as5xxx and livingston pm[3,4] they can easyily configure them to all
pretend the same ip-address on their end. if they dont, some configurations
(eg dialer-maps on ciscos) will have serious troubles connecting, so they
should reconfigure their equipment nonetheless.

the only problem I see for you is that you might not be able to ping the
remote side of your connection, so you could have problems tracking
connection problems.
