Hi to all of you!

I know this is not the mail-group to ask questions, but I did not know any
other mail-group with enough competent readers.

The problem I have is to connect to a Windows-NT server (at the provider
side) with a Free-BSD 2.05 system. I wanted to do this with the "iij-ppp" 
package because it seems to me as the most flexible one.
The Internet provider uses a Windows-NT server (this can't be changed,
I am sorry ;-), PPP and as login protection PAP (so no normal "login:"
and "password:").

The symptom is as follows (according to the log file (/var/log/ppp.log)):

A connection can be made. (Modems connect and this shows up in the log file).
They can exchange HDLC packages (The following packages are exchanged:).

	- SendConfigReq
	- Received Configure Request
	- SendConfigNak <= Why?????
	- Received Configure Reject
	- SendConfigReq
	- Received Configure Request
	- SendConfigAck
	- Received Configure Reject <= Why, they did Ack?
	- .....
	- Received Terminate Request
	- SendTerminateAck

My questions:
	Why are there so much Config Requests?
	Why does is there an Ack followed by a Reject?
	Why doesn't it simply work?
	(Why does my provider use a bloody Windows-NT machine!?! :-( )

More information:

I am using a 386/40 with 8Mb, a low-cost V34 modem and iij-ppp
(version 0.94). 

The iij-ppp is configured as follows:

Name            My Side         His Side
----------------------------------------
vjcomp          enable          accept
lqr             enable          accept
chap            disable         accept
pap             enable          accept
acfcomp         enable          accept
protocomp       enable          accept
pred1           enable          accept
proxy           disable         deny

IPCP [Initial]
 his side: 0.0.0.0, 0
 my  side: 0.0.0.0, 0
connected: 0 secs, idle: 0 secs

Defaults:  My Address: 192.168.200.29/0  His Address: 0.0.0.0/0

LCP [Initial]
 his side: MRU 0, ACCMAP 00000000, PROTOCOMP 0, ACFCOMP 0 MAGIC 00000000
 my  side: MRU 0, ACCMAP 00000000, PROTOCOMP 0, ACFCOMP 0 MAGIC 00000000

Defaults:   MRU = 1500, ACCMAP = 00000000       Open Mode: passive

The authname and authkey are also set to appropriate values (which are 
double check with the provider).

Which are mostly the default configuration parameters.

I would be pleased if someone knew an answer to one or more of these 
questions or if one of you could give me more information about the
iij-ppp program (English/Dutch/German not Japanese!).

Hope to hear from you!!!
