I'm trying to establish an ISDN connection with a national provider. They are using a Cisco 7513, I am using a Motorola Bitsurfr Pro, which is just an ISDN "modem", and either of the two popular PPP packages (pppd and user-ppp). The provider uses CHAP authentication. However, I find myself totally unable to negotiate an authentication method, never mind actually authenticate. Perhaps I'm reading the debug info wrong: Jul 13 14:55:22 skippy pppd[6469]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x90 ] Jul 13 14:55:22 skippy pppd[6469]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x41 ] Jul 13 14:55:22 skippy pppd[6469]: sent [LCP ConfNak id=0x90 ] Jul 13 14:55:22 skippy pppd[6469]: rcvd [LCP ConfAck id=0x41 ] Jul 13 14:55:22 skippy pppd[6469]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x91 ] Jul 13 14:55:22 skippy pppd[6469]: sent [LCP ConfAck id=0x91 ] To me, this reads, peer requests we use an MRU of 1600, a blank asyncmap, and PAP authentication. I tell peer I will use the proposed MRU and asyncmap, but I must have CHAP authentication. Peer ACK's, and revises his request, with _no_ authentication. I agree to new config. Then I get hung up on, because I didn't authenticate. The user-level PPP package produces identical results. I've called many times saying it looks like they have PAP turned on, or CHAP turned off, but they say they've checked it over and over, and it's correct. If I accept PAP authentication, it seems to ignore my authentication packets, and hangs up. Is there know problem dealing with this router? Is there some deficiency in these PPP packages which makes it somehow incompatible? Is the phone company screwing with my head? Any help would be appreceated. Thanks! Mike.
