Using the pap-secrets file won't work. Since the man page states that the '+ua' option is obsolecent, I'd rather use the pap-secrets file. By placing debug statements in the isdnppd source code, I found out why this is. It explicitly wants me to use my hostname (grendel.IAEhv.nl) as the first field in the pap-secrets file and tries to authenticate with that, while my provider wants me to authenticate with my normal usercode with a 'P' prepended. Is there a way to get around this? - Peter -- Peter Korsten | peter@grendel.IAEhv.nl (UUCP) | peterk@IAEhv.nl C/C++/Perl/Java hacker
