If you set the default route over the PPP interface, then none of this next bit matters except if you're picky like me. If you don't set the default route it does get important.
 
Microsoft's PPP implementations up to and including Vista still believe in classful addressing. If you don't want the PPP interface to be the default route, then if they are given a 'class A' address they assume a netmask of 255.0.0.0 and set a corresponding network route, similarly for class B and C addresses. Windows 7 has the option to disable this automatic classful route if you don't set the default route. Nice one Microsoft :-)
