Howdy folks.

I've got a setup running with a few modems, mgetty, and pppd running.  I
would like to be able to setup the capability to authenticate using pap or
chap for dialin users.  Currently my users have to bring up a terminal
screen after dialing and connecting to type in their userid and password,
or setup a script to do this for them.  Windows95 doesn't seem to
recognize that it is attempting a plain-text authentication, and never
negotiates or even logs on unless the terminal screen is ran or a script
does it for them.

Does pppd have to do this, if so, how do I setup pppd to work with the
modem on incoming users.  I'm sorry if I missed something in one of the
man pages, but I checked repetitively and came up with no answer for
incoming pap and chap.

Thanks in advance.
