That looks like a cisco dialup server. I've seen authentication problems like this with the cisco as5300 (try 'show version' at the command line you get) and livingston radiusd. Your provider may have received similar complaints from Linux and old Mac users or people with ISDN TA's (in short, anything likely to be using a script), call them and check it out. Their logs will probably show no login attempts from you at all. As long as you're positive that you're not using a script that's waiting for some login prompt, you can probably blame it on your provider's equipment (they may be as baffled as you are). Have you also tried authenticating with PAP? I've been told that Merit radiusd solves the problem but haven't tried it myself. Of course getting them to change radiusd if that's the case is another matter altogether. hth -ac To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
