I've posted my config a few times in the last couple of days. You can
set up a dfilter (also shown in the sample files in /etc/ppp) to stop
whatever packets are activating your connection. To find out what's
causing things, run "tcpdump -i tun0". You'll probably need to build
a kernel with "pseudo-device bpfilter 2" or some such.
Dynamic IP numbers are no problem as long as you have a ppp.linkup file
that says something like:
mylabel:
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
