Jason, the portmaster should autodetect the difference. I know that
Ascend, Assured Access, and Cisco NASes do. You shouldn't have to have a
capital P in front of their usernames.
For instance, with us, if you dialup to us, we wait for you to start
PAP. If we don't see PAP after a couple of seconds, it drops you into the
Login-User mode. Same usernames for either connection method. Doesn't get
more elegant than that :>
