Examples ... ? Sure, but how do they apply ? I apologize, I think I didn't manage to explain the problem accurately, or maybe I am misunderstanding something ... To summarize: I had user-mode ppp working just fine, PAP authentication and nothing else, just fine as I say. Then the carrier changed its system and now I need both PAP and login to authenticate myself. Ok, maybe they are a bit too paranoiac, it seems, and as far as I know they don't come from the Emerald Isle either. But the point is: this is the case with user-mode ppp only; with kernel-mode ppp PAP authentication is enough. Same remote system, same phone number, same everything but the ppp program in this side of the link. It's ok, for me it's not so big a problem, I was just curious to read what someone who does know ppp has to say. And to learn from it of course.
