Thanks for your help. At least after a 4 day struggle I solved the
problem.
First of all I had problems with my modem, and I started playing
with 'accept pap & enable PAP'. Then I got my modem working
and didn't check, that I had bad PAP settings.
I debugged the HDLC frames with RFC 1172, and found out, that
you are not allowed to 'enable PAP' on the client side, because
the CISCO terminal server rejects all ConfigReqs, which insist on
having PAP in the LCP package.
The CISCO server thinks the real client ( == my freebsd box ) wants to
be the PAP server, and thus rejects my LCP ConfigReq packages, which
contains c023 as authproto.
Maybe other PPP servers are not that strict, but CISCO is.
Thanks for your help, it pointed me the right way.
