RE: ppp mystery
just replying to the CHAP/PAP remark. To my knowledge that is not true.
Windows 9x for sure uses CHAP and will, if i recall correctly, fall back to
PAP. There is much to be said about the windows implementation of CHAP/PAP
and so on. Running windowsupdates and checking the M$ knowledgebase might
surely help you out.
If you get all that rubbish you might have a problem with you modem
settings. Try a lower speed connection. Also verify you have your serial
config set up right generally ISP's use N,8,1
also verify this with the debian mailinglist archives and/or FAQ's probably
ready to be read on you system
greetings,
joris

I've just tried CHAP with no success. The result was exactly the same. I
probably should have added in my original message that Windows connects
using PAP.
