Hi Mark, Try removing the "login" keyword from /etc/ppp/options and adding in marki in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets like so: marki * blah then see if it authenticates. I'd rule out any low-level problems in the serial port or modem or you wouldn't see "marki" as a username in the log. It's probably something simple such as the password is case sensitive and your sending the wrong case, or the /etc/ppp directory is not readable by ppp or the files in it aren't readable by ppp, or the Windows client is sending a space character in the password or the ppp config files have extra characters in them that you aren't aware of or something like that. Note also my comment in the article aobut NT4 cleartext being required, if your running NT. See if you can test with a different Windows client if possible. Also don't rule out a bug in pppd too. The truth is that these days very few people are building dedicated multiport PPP servers using PC's because they want to support V90 indial, which requires an ISDN line. (although I'd be interested in anyone's experiences with the US Robotics Courier I-Modem which will support incoming V90 calls) Most people that set their FreeBSD workstations up for indial are doing it casually and also want to make outgoing calls on their phone line and so they use the user-mode ppp because there's more information out there for the casual user. As a result I think that in recent years that pppd has been more used for outdial than indial.
