My question is, has anyone recently used user ppp to connect to worldnet? The pedantic primer says the example config was tested on worldnet, but it's not working for me. The best I can make out from the log is that I'm getting a chap failure. I confess that I'm ignorant about chap, so it could be something stupid. I have also tried the ppp.conf.sample and iij to no avail. Which of these is the closest thing to something that might work? I'm really not looking for somebody to spend a lot of time with a huge answer (because I'll probably switch ISP's), but if someone has used this with worldnet recently, an example config would be cool. (Besides, I thought it was interesting that they were so uncooperative. They think I'm gonna let all my buddies hook to the net through my machine I guess.) Thanks, Dave
