You may have to look at the /var/log/ppp.log file, but I don't believe that
it is valid to specify both the local and the remote IP addresses as
0.0.0.0.  If the desired effect is to allow the remote to dynamically
assign both, you should omit "$LOCAL_IP:$REMOTE_IP" and pppd will negotiate
dynamically as appropriate.  You also don't need to specify a netmask in
this instance.
