Help with PAP!
Helllo,
I am now connecting to a different server from my ISP for X2 V.90
dialup.
Previosly, to dial in all I had to do was change
/etc/chatscripts/provider with my username and password and the number
to phone (there was no PAP/CHAP authentication).
Now allegedly there is some sort of PAP authentification required, and
no script is run (so no expect: ogin stuff).
Under NT 4.0, the settings I use are don't run a script, dynamic DNS
server (but have their IP adresses) and accept any authentication
including clear text. This works.
I'm confused about what to do with Debian (ham) however - shoudl I not
be running my chatscript? If I just change the dialup number,name, etc
in /etc/chatscripts/provider when I dialin I get garbage after expect:
ogin
{}{#}}{*^###
type stuff.
How should I connect now there's PAP authentication and no script being
run at the providers end?
Confused,
Martin

Your 'connect' chat script should end at CONNECT. PAP means that the
authentication is done during the PPP negotiation. All you have to do is to
add a line like this to your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file:
your-name provider-name your-password
and to /etc/ppp/peers/provider:
user your-name
remotename provider-name
The latter line can be omitted if this is your only ISP connection - in that
case, substitute 'provider-name' with an * (asterisk).

I just set up an alternate dialup account that used PAP and I'll have to
say that pppconfig made it ridiculously(sp) easy. Just run through
the menus and select PAP instead of CHAT... should take care of everything
for you.
