A few points; most NT servers have pap authenication and no login/passwd
procedure, hence you see the set auth... business while no login etc.

I have dynamic assigned address. My /etc/hosts file has only the loopback
address, 127.0.0.1, and nothing else (I have no ethernet card). If I use
anything there with my hostname, my isp will try to use that address and
the connection will fail. This is something I wish somebody would clearup.
The "pedamic ppp guide" in /usr/share/doc appears to not agree on this 
point.

The two files:

# ppp.conf
default:
	set device /dev/cuaa1
	set speed 57600
	disable pred1
	deny pred1
	disable lqr
	deny lqr
	set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
	set redial 3 3
gorilla:
	set phone 2506824
	deny chap
	accept pap
	set authname toj
	set authkey *******
	set timeout 0
	set openmode active
	dial
# end of ppp.conf

#
#
# ppp.linkup
#

gorilla:
	delete ALL
	add 0 0 HISADDR

MYADDR:
	add 0 0 HISADDR
# end ppp.linkup

Hope this helps,

Tom
