Do I need to use PAP and/or Chap? This is really a question your ISP should answer. I suspect the answer is 'yes'. > If so can someone show me an example that would use no prompts. Here's the example from /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample: # If the peer requires to use CHAP, don't forget to supply authname # and authkey. # # If you'd like to use CHAP to authenticate with the peer, comment out # the line ``enable chap'' below. You also need to prepare /etc/ppp.secret. # # If the remote system sends its system name within the CHAP packet and it # is found in /etc/ppp.secret, then the secret key is taken from that file # and value of authkey specified here is ignored. # chapsite: set phone 12345678 set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: ppp word: ppp" deny pap accept chap # enable chap set authname MySystemName set authkey OurSecretKey If you're not using login prompts (the normal case), just remove the 'set login' line: chapsite: set phone 12345678 deny pap accept chap # enable chap set authname MySystemName set authkey OurSecretKey You'll note that 'enable chap' has been commented out. That's the normal way: the ISP authenticates you, but you don't authenticate the ISP. Greg
