Hi, I must confess. I find PPP the darndest thing to get working. I know everyone else finds it "easy", quote "Just do this and that, and you'll be right". or "This person did this, do the same". It just doesn't work. I have had ppp going any number of times, and every time I come back to it, I have to spend just as long getting it going again. In a nut shell; I am trying to get pppd working. again. The called site uses PAP. It's like trying to work out crossword puzzels. I can't do them either. I can dial the site. Thats no problem. chatfile: INIT='ATM1' PHONE=xxx USERNAME=xxxx PASSWORD=xxxx exec /usr/bin/chat xxxxx etc etc ogin: xx and so on. Fine. That worked befor, and still works. It dials. options: crtscts modem passive debug domain chalmers.com.au 0.0.0.0:203.22.80.20 connect "/etc/ppp/chatfile" mtu 1500 mru 1500 defaultroute /dev/cuaa1 115200 Fine, that worked before. Now all I have to do is try and convince it that the other end wants to do PAP. Do you think I can make any sense of the documentation or FAQ's. There are about 3000 different ways of doing this. Please, if anyone has a definitive set of instructions for this, I'd really appreciate knowing what I have to do the the above scripts, to get it to repsond to PAP, and not just a 'normal' login.
