You need to enable ms_chap in PPP --- see README.MSCHAP80

I am intending to make ppp generate a separate package (ppp-lite ?) so that I 
can make the main package depend on libpam and libdes (needed for ms_chap) 
without needing to put all that on the boot disks.

In the mean time, you'll need to grab the source and recompile it.

BTW if ppp-lite gets installed on the boot disks, what do I need to do to make 
ppp get installed over the top of it --- is it just

  Replaces: ppp-lite

in the ppp package ?

Cheers, Phil.

P.S.  I've never tried the NT RAS thing, so I'd like to hear how you get on.
