First of all, why do you want to turn on broadcasting for your ppp users?
Are you forwarding subnets to them?

I dont think you need it. Its routing protocol. You dont need routing
protocol for the 1 route that is created when the user dials in.

Sounds good to me.
And the only reason youd need BROADCAST on in the BOX at all is if you
were using it to foward route info from one part of a network to another
(which some actually do).
