Demon give you a fixed IP, i.e. their PPP server always dishes out the
same one when you sign on as the same user. So you tell pppd to get the
IP dynamically, which is correct - and Demon always gives you the same
one, which is also correct. Most people, including me, see this as a
positive advantage of using Demon, who are the only ISP I am aware of
who do this. Most do not have enough IP addresses to go round.

What is it you do not like about your address? 

If you really like your address changing, use another ISP and it will.

Ipcp-accept-local isn't required in most cases, you just don't specify a
local IP address and it accepts the one from the server. Sometimes you
need "noipdefault" but I have never seen this with an ISP, only a server
at work with a possibly dubious configuration.

Or am I missing something fundamental here?
