Ramon....wow! This compounds the mystery!! Below are the
contents of my pap-secrets file from Helios (6.1), the system
that is connecting properly:
# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client server secret IP addresses
....and below are the contents of my pap-secrets file from Air
(7.0), the system that is not connecting properly:
# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client server secret IP addresses
"Pshoemake" * "**********"
....note that the asterisks in the quotes have been placed there
by me to relace the actual account password that was in the
quotes in the original file.
Any further thoughts?
Thanks,
Alan
