My ISP has just enabledPAP authentication for PPP connections. I have
been trying to work out how to make use of this from my FreeBSD 2.1R
system. I have looked at the man entry for pppd but am having trouble
working out how to do it - it's not very good at explaining which
options are for being a client and which are for a server. Next l will
have to start looking at the source code. Before I resort to that, can
anybody give me some simple instructions.

Thanks for any help,
	Graham
