man pppd:

       ipcp-accept-local
              With this option, pppd will accept the peer's  idea
              of  our  local  IP  address,  even  if the local IP
              address was specified in an option.

       ipcp-accept-remote
              With this option, pppd will accept the peer's  idea
              of  its  (remote) IP address, even if the remote IP
              address was specified in an option.

kill `cat /var/run/pppN.pid`, for some value of N, normally 0.
