We've used the 900i and the 1000i, but it should run pretty much the same
software.

All routers these days should support unnumbered PPP, and the Microrouter
is no exception.

It's a portable netblock registered to that customer? If so, you can't
really take it.

Um, 252.0, I assume the comma is a typo?

This line is not necesary. Framed-Address together with Framed-Netmask
imply this Framed-Route. You only need Framed-Route if you want
assitional routes.

Don't bother with the Ascend-PPP-Address, the microrouter doesn't care.

And the microrouter...

                              Addresses
Port              IP Addr        Subnet         Broadcast     Flags
Ethernet A     206.108.12.8   255.255.252.0   206.108.15.255  <RIP:disabled>
Wan A          Unnumbered interface                           <RIP:disabled>
               Remote Address:                0.0.0.0         <>

...and for the routing table...

Static Routes:
  Destination      Mask     Gateway     Hops Refs    Uses  Type  Interface
DEFAULT                   Interface        1    1 1753625  Stat  Wan A

Note that the default route points just to "Wan A", not any particular
IP address. This is important.
