Oh, never heard of it.
Anyways, my ISP also requests the use of CHAP by default, but if you deny
the CHAP protocol you can suggest the PAP protocol (which they by the way
also suggest by themselves after a Authentication Protocol Reject).
Just don't send a Auth Protocol Request option with PAP in your
Configure_Request packets (in fact don't send any kind of Auth Protocol
Request packets) and all will work fine.

True. But implementation is (at least in Assembly) too complex to be worth
the effort (searching for the "Username:"-string, and a good implementation
also requires the handling of scripts since the authentication is not
standarized).
