From the user-ppp manual:
chap[05]
[.... cut ...]
When using CHAP as the client, you need only specify ``AuthName''
and ``AuthKey'' in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. CHAP is accepted by de-
fault. Some PPP implementations use "MS-CHAP" rather than MD5
when encrypting the challenge. MS-CHAP is a combination of MD4
and DES. If ppp was built on a machine with DES libraries avail-
able, it will respond to MS-CHAP authentication requests, but
will never request them.
