I have a question. Consider a FreeBSD host. Many users want to be able
to log into "terminal mode" and to use PPP. How can we do that?
The first solution was: to add "ppp" user with the "ppp" password.
But... anyone was able to use "ppp/ppp" pair as PAP auth :)

Now we use FreeBSD 2.1.5-R with getty from 2.2.1-R (to recognize
incoming PPP), but some clients (OS2) do not know how to run PPP
without sending login name and password.

So, the question is: how to configure the "flexible" PPP server?
Maybe, someone solved this?
