It doesn't. You can use username/password authentication to connect to a
machine on which you can not get a shell. It's
The PAP protocol for user authentication sends the user name and
password, just as you would use if using a login. But the
authentication process is handled by the PAP protocol implementation on
the host rather than by a login implementation.
I think there may have been confusion with the PAP pro

Nils asked about connecting some machines that serve Windows dialup clients
from Linux: i.e., what kind of weird authentication are they likely to use?
Joey answered that they most likely just use PAP. Turns out he was right.

I need to set up a Debian box (potato) to connect to to some machines that
are set up to receive the 'Dialup Networking' connection from Windoze, and
there's no shell access so you basically need the protocol as far as I can
