It doesnt matter what remote IP you give it since it will just change it
when it gets the new settings from the PPP server when it connects.
Basically you can make up any old IP number. (Try one from the 10.x.x.x
block)

Here are the settings from one of my ppp options files..

demand
idle 60
lock
noauth
defaultroute
user myaccount
remotename myisp
modem 57600 crtscts
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/myisp'

To run it just use

pppd :10.9.9.9 /dev/modem

or any other IP.
