Basic PPP IPCP isn't negotiating a netmask at all.  It's just "this is my
IP address, this is your address".

(And even if it did, it would not change anything - so what would the
remote end do with a /8 netmask?  "sent the packet over the link in
question".  Well.  Which is exactly what is needed to get the packet 
to you - "send the packet over the link"...)

Something weird is going on in this Westell device.
