>Description:
The PPP documentation always refers to
set authname YOURLOGINNAME
set authkey YOURPASSWORD
At least T-Online, one of the major ISPs in Germany, however expects a "#" in the
user name, like this:
00087xxxxxxx320yyyyyyyyy#0001@t-online.de
x and y are all digits.
When doing
set authname 00087xxxxxxx320yyyyyyyyy#0001@t-online.de
the 0001@t-online.de part will be cut by PPP, and some dialup nodes will then
reject the login. This affects T-DSL -- PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) in particular.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Instead,
set authname "00087xxxxxxx320yyyyyyyyy#0001@t-online.de"
must be used to make the # a regular character rather than a comment delimiter,
so I suggest that examples and documentation be adjusted to read
set authname "YOURLOGINNAME"
set authkey "YOURPASSWORD"
Thanks.
