I thought we did support PAP, at least there's a bunch of code in there
for it.  Any way to find out what your ISP really wants?

Also, have you installed the 09/10 update to fix the serial driver?  It
had a bug that caused PPP to hangup prematurely.

I have been trying to connect myself to the internet using ppp.  At
first I tried telco and giving ip/ppp the -p telco!9090903432 parameter,
but obtained can't open telco!9090903432. I made a csquery and saw
that everything works ok and the file is there and everything. I got
stuck at this point and so I tried another aproach I had read Boyd
had suggested on the archives, writing the commands for the call myself.
I wrote:

ip/ppp -uf -b 57600 -p /dev/eia1 -s $name:$pass
and after this I typed:
atdt9090903432^M
(wher ^M stands for Control-M).

I hear the modem dialing, some singing and a I get the message:
CONNECTED 57600

Stops the noise and after some time:

NO CARRIER

I think it has to do with authentification, because giving wrong
password or user name doesn't change the behaviour. Maybe I need a ppp
which supports PAP?. Where can I get it?. Is there any way to make ppp
more verbose?.
