ppp needs some address to work with right from the beginning, before
you get assigned an IP address from your isp. The original idea was,
from my understanding, that you could specify your network, and would
then only be assigned the host part of the address.

Hence the /0, which specifies that nothing is network-part and you
take whatever IP address you get assigned.
