Our dedicated IP people have a Framed-Netmask of 255.255.255.255 set in
Radius and they never have any problems...

Probably because of a routing issue related to the Netmask above

The user should never have to enter in any of that stuff (including DNS
stuff). Eventhough the person has a dedicated IP, let the PM3 tell the
client machine that. It's less configuring that the user has to worry
about... Also, make sure that "Use default gateway on remote network" is
checked in the TCP/IP Settings area of his/her Dial-Up Networking
connection profile.
