In general we shy away from implementing
cleartext password protocols, but I don't
think you'd find it too hard to add PAP
to the current PPP sources.

Hmm, CHAP is actually just as cleartext as PAP, except that the
cleartext stage is in a different place in the network.

Even challenge/response is theoretically susceptible to dictionary
attack by a passive wiretapper. We have implemented encrypted key
exchange techniques that we hope to release before long. These
help you bootstrap to a strong password, so challenge/response can
then be safely used.

We try to make sure the passwords used in challenge/response
protocols, in particular the main Plan 9 authentication protocol,
never go on the network. For instance, netkey checks that you're
on a terminal:
term% cpu
% netkey
netkey must not be run on the cpu server
%

Is there any support for PPP/PAP on Plan 9? AFAIK, It's the only
thing my ISP supports.
Has anyone tried an S3 Trio 3D/2X (aka Diamond MM SpeedStar a55,
86C362 chipset) with Plan 9? It's an inexpensive, widely available
video card which meets my needs and, if it'll work with Plan 9, I plan
to buy one.
