    Hey, there are 2 sceneraios here.

    A)  Your ISP is using MSCHAP80 only auth.
	Get the source to ppp-2.2.0e and it thoroughly
	descrbes the MS-Chap 80 procedure (a readme).  It involves
	getting this library (libdes) with the routines and recompiling
	and changing the config a tad bit.

    B)  the format of MY working /etc/ppp/pap-secrets is
	(and I dont have to use the chap80 deal)

	your_username
	your_password

	not like the man page states

	Then I specify +b /usr/ppp/pap-secrets on the pppd command
	line (or actually in /etc/ppp/options).  This works well
	for those NT box's set to Clear Text pap authorization.

     In either case, choice A would guarntee suscess (for the most part)
     and itsnt really that complex at all.
