This one came on one long line of text, which is very difficult to read. Next, verify that your NT RAS server is using, or allows, PAP authentication. Before you connect with PPP, give PPP the command "set openmode active". This will tell the BSD PPP that it must initiate the PPP connection conversation. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
