I get the following when I connect from my box to the Versanet Communications

.... So I thought maybe it was just these "magic numbers".  So I added

nomagic

to my /etc/ppp/options file.  This is what I got:

Jan 28 18:29:13 Oblivion pppd[9186]: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0

... So I thought this would be good to add to /etc/options/ppp

novj

and I got :

... and that's pretty much where I gave up... I did add:

209.126.108.4:209.126.108.4

which is a server on the remote end that is already assigned yet I got:

Jan 28 19:37:57 Oblivion pppd[9599]: Serial connection established.

Jan 28 19:38:00 Oblivion pppd[9599]: remote IP address 209.126.108.4

... which is completely crazy for it to do.  The connection did not function.
I also tried real dialup addresses which did not work either.

I have access to both sides of the link as an administrator.

Windows 9x machines connect beautifully to it.  And since win9x is a hack
version of ppp I thought surely linux would do it.

My guess is that the other side (the ISP Accelerator) supports substandard
stuff indeed. :(

How do I fix this?  What do I need to do to get my Linux box hooked up to
the other side.

I know my linux box's ppp work's wonderfully because there is a WindowsNT
(shudder) machine that I can connect to just great over at the ISP, but it
is going out of service (horray!).

My PAP stuff is correct and the other side's RADIUS server confirms I'm
connecting correctly.

I think its CHAP..... It's certainly one or the other.
