Sorry about the delay in responding James, we had a 'significant'
storm roll through yesterday...
I don't know the mechanism for how the authentication actually

asking for or giving the 'null string' as a password for any
user at .

Well Art don't feel too silly, what you said is essentially correct (except
for the chatscript stuff of course).
The ppp protocol does not itself have a 'host/user' concept, it is a peer to
peer protocol. In practice there typically are differences when PAP or CHAP
are involved but again the diff

Mr. Whitwell just informed me that he is looking for an

Dear All,
I've only just joined this list, so I don't know if this has been
discussed before. I'm using ppp-2.3.3-5 and mgetty-1.1.14-1 to run a

the username/password, which always fails with "PAP authentication
