Change that to:

	lincoln * abraham 192.168.0.234

No, but if the fifth element on the line is "--", you can add extra
options there.  These are applied only after the PPP Authentication
phase, so they can't be LCP or auth options.  For instance:

	lincoln * abraham 192.168.0.234 -- novj

You can also specify the fourth parameter as an allowed address range
or include "+" to specify that the address is formed using the unit
number.  See the man page for details.
