[ale] pptp and ppp continued

[Joe Steele]

I saw this in one of the pppd README files.  Have you tried 
it yet?  It sounds like the problem you describe.

  Another thing that might cause problems is that some RAS servers won't
  respond at all to LCP config requests without seeing the word "CLIENT"
  from the other end.  If you see pppd sending out LCP config requests
  without getting any reply, try putting something in your chat script
  to send the word CLIENT after the modem has connected.

Well, I'm back to square 0.  My new ppp recognizes the various
/etc/ppp/options but I get the same output in my log file, that is I see
ppp sending a 'sent lcp' message which is repeated 9 times and the
connection is terminated.

The new man file for pppd says to put 'auth, +chap, +chapms, +chapms-v2'
in the options file, to authenticate a client with M$ chap.

I'll continue to dig.

hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his
