No, you should only specify the adresses on ONE side, the pppd
on the other machine will take what is given to it ... exactly
what it does when you call your ISP.
Besides you should NOT use 198.20.x.y, because those are
attributed addresses on the Internet, so if you use those
you won't be able to connect to the Internet at the same time
that you have your link running.
Better use either 192.168.x.y, or 10.x.y.z, which are reserved
on the whole Internet for just this purpose.
