I had alot of problems using the chap authentication on our university computers, but I eventually got it working... First of all, you need to have a file called chap-secrets in /usr/ppp (I think it was). Your root will tell you what thsi will look like. Then you start kermit from root, make the connection, and start the ppp-deamon on the remote computer. Then you shell back to your unix prompt and type pppd /dev/ttyd0 (or whatever device # your modem is) 38400 (or the speed Kermit is set for). Then the remote computer sends a request to your your computer asking for chap-secrets. Once that has been received by the remote host (takes a second) the network is up and running. Good luck!
