I don't know. I think it's some kind of special equipment. I once worked
with a Telebit Netblazer (which had PPP support built-in) and it sounds
to me like they're using something of that kind (a dedicated dialup
server). But I really don't know. It might be Windows NT, which I do
know they use for their servers. I'd be interested to know whether
anyone on this list knows that their ISP uses NT with PAP and they can
connect with "stock" pppd.

I did let them know, but they don't seem to want to talk about it. In
fact ever since I mentioned Linux, they've gone very quiet. I had
thought they'd want to know what I had to do in order to connect. I
really don't understand their silence.
