Just a guess, try using PAP for authentication instead of a "chat script" or manually logging in ... ... the BitSURFR is not only translating from PPP to MPP, but also from Async framing to Sync framing ... V.120 also adapts Async to Sync. Jacques Vidrine <n@nectar.com> On 11 January 1998 at 21:13, dmaddox@scsn.net (Donald J.
