Not so. This is defined by Telecom (ie Telecom, not XTRA) when it comes
to Jetstart, and it does not matter which ISP you use. For ADSL traffic,
users are authenticated against a radius server at the ISP. For
JETSTREAM the ISP can, within limits, provide IP address
information. For Jetstart, any information the ISP sends is ignored, and
Telecom pick the IP address out of a predefined pool.
