Both PPP implementations speak CHAP ([kernel] pppd, and (IIJ) ppp). I'm not sure, it's possible that the [kernel] pppd implementation that has been shipping with the last official didn't speak CHAP. Since you're going to dial out, the other one (ppp) is probably better suited anyway. RTFM ppp(8), and have a look at the example files under /etc/ppp. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
