What you need IS in KPPP. Here are the buttons to press :-).
Setup
Accounts
New
Dialog setup (NOT Wizard)
Authentication: Terminal-based (NOT Pap)
And so on from there. Once you get it working "Terminal-based" you
can automate it by switching Authentication from Terminal-based to
Script-based and entering a script in the Login Script Tab.
By the way, you can create a script for Win9x
so you can ditch the Terminal window there too.
You must have the only remaining prehistoric
ISP in the world that doesn't use PAP yet.
