You need to 'accept pap', and probably 'set openmode active'. here is what I use (though I use chap these days): You can just comment out 'accept chap' and uncomment 'accept pap', I had been using PAP earlier. Uncomment the 'set debug ...' line and everything you every wanted to know about what is going on between you and your provider will appear in /var/log/messages. :myisp deny lqr disable lqr disable pred1 deny pred1 set timeout 0 # set debug phase chat lcp lqm hdlc async set phone 5551212 # enable pap # accept pap accept chap # enable chap set authname myname set authkey mychapsecret set ifaddr 205.216.174.5 205.216.174.1 set openmode active dial add 0 0 205.216.174.1 > not allow me to create one.
