Yes, that the main problem that happens sometimes.

It does not look to be simple because the whole PAP and CHAP authenticati=
on=20
are processed by PapInput() and ChapInput() that call RadiusPAPAuthentica=
te()=20
and RadiusCHAPAuthenticate(). It is a synchronous call. In order to use=20
rad_init_send_request()  and rad_continue_send_request(), PapInput() and=20
ChapInput() need to be splitted, doesn't they ?
