Oh! I hear ya! Ummm...isn't there a checkbox in the DUN properties
somewhere that says something about "this connection uses CHAP
authentication", or somesuch? I'd guess that checking that would
enable the DUN client to pass the necessary info to respond to the
challenge (the password is the secret). I'm guessing there
though...I'd have to reboot to Windoze on my main box to look at DUN.
