You need to uncomment the exec in login-annex.tcl:

#  Rather than just printing this message, you could ifconfig the interface,
#  for example, by using the exec TCL command:
#
#    exec /etc/ifconfig $interface $2 $1

Alternatively, you could try to convice the annex admins to turn on annex
security and set up an acp_dialup file that maps username to internet address.
That is what we do here, and it works very well. More details available 
on request.
