Well, that was certainly what I thought. While there is no formal requirement in the PPP standard that the host must drop the connection -- the hosts can agree to disagree about the address (this means that the connection may not work) -- it was my understanding that the Ascend equipment *is* supposed to drop the connection. I would recommend you test this with known addresses and check the "netstat -nr" information to see if the TNT is actually accepting the connection but not the addresses OR if it is accepting both the connection and the addresses requested by the remote host. In either case, it sounds like you need to get in touch with Ascend customer service - at a minimum the documentation needs to be updated (maybe there is something else that needs to be set OR maybe the expected behavior has been changed), but this may be a software defect that needs to be corrected.
