Can pppd work with an NT Server using call back.

I think it goes like this.

Linux call's an NT server and authenticates itself vis PPP ((PAP/CHAP)???)
The NT server accepts and drops the line.

At this point the IP addresses that will be used are already established.

The NT server then calls back a fixed phone number and the Linux
box should just pick up in ppp mode.

Things that confuse me.

For the return call, how do I determine the IP address that was used 
for the first call and re-state that on the call back e.g. When I re-spawn pppd.

At this point can I re-negotiate for the IP Addresses ???


Has anyone else done this.

TIA

John Gentilin
