I'm seeing something in my log file which must account for my lack of success but which doesn't make sense to me. Rather than paste in the acutal log file, let me summarize what I think is the key sequence of events: pc = pppd running on my pc. isp = the PPP implementation running at my ISP. 1. pc sends LCP ConfReq with <mru 1500> <magic ...> <pcomp> <accomp> 2. isp sends LCP ConfRej complaining about the <pcomp> and <accomp> 3. pc sends LCP ConfReq with just <mru 1500> and <magic ...> 4. isp sends LCP ConfAck to #3. 5. isp sends LCP ConfReq with <auth pap> <magic ***> [his actual magic number] 6. pc sends LCP ConfAck to #5. 7. pc sends PAP AuthReq with my username and password 8. isp sends PAP AuthAck to #7. 9. isp sends IPCP ConfReq with a nice (appropriate to his subnet) IP address. And now comes the part that I can't understand: 10. pc sends IPCP TermAck to #9. Then things start repeating, with isp retrying the IPCP ConfReq, pc giving TermAck, and then pc retrying the PAP Authreq (which isp continues to ack). After numerous retries, there's a message at the end claiming that PAP authentication has failed. Shouldn't a TermAck be something sent in response to a TermReq (as in LCP)? Any idea why pc is not simply giving a IPCP ConfAck?
