  I'm running kernel PPP under 2.2.2_RELENG_8/1

 When trying to use password ( PAP ) authentication the modem connected
to the FreeBSD box hangs up on the first invalid attempt from a client
machine.  I've modified the options file as thus:

debug
login
proxyarp
crtscts                         # Hardware flow control
netmask 255.255.255.0           # netmask ( not required )
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx   # ip's of local and remote hosts
                                # local ip must be different from one
                                # you assigned to the ethernet ( or other )
                                # interface on your machine.
                                # remote IP is ip address that will be 
                                # assigned to the remote machine
domain cdnow.com                # your domain
dns1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
dns2 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
passive                         # wait for LCP
silent                          # wait for remote LCP
persist                         # Stay running?
modem                           # modem line
pap-max-authreq 10
pap-timeout 60
pap-restart 60

 I call ppp via:

pppd -d /dev/cuaa1 38400


  
However, this doesn't solve the problem nor change anything about it.

I'm using a an empty PAP file so the user can use the system passwords
instead.

 Also, I can't get the connection to go above 38400.  Any other value
above this causes the program to exit as it can't sync with the modem.


Any ideas?
