If you want both login & pap authentication, simply specify a login script *and* an authname/authkey. I'd be a bit surprised if your ISP is asking pppd only for pap and asking ppp for pap + login.... what do the logs say ? > El 14-Dec-98 a la(s) 23:48:41 Brian Somers escribia: > >> > >> El 26-Nov-98 a la(s) 18:28:34 Brian Somers escribia: > >> >> Hullo, > >> >> > >> >> A bit out of topic, but one of the Spanish nation wide carriers > >> >> is changing its system for accessing ISPs and it turns out that, in the > >> >> new system, they are using both PAP and login _at a time_ to authenticate > >> >> the calling user.
