I can confirm it exists. If I remembered what Serial links were connected to what in the lab, I would do your experiment as well. Anyone want to drive to my office and look at the rack for me ? :)

Such a command does not exist on my routers (which are running 11.0). Would anyone be willing to see if it exists on newer routers? Set up two routers connected via a serial link to use PPP encapsulation. Use PAP authentication. Shut down one of the interfaces, enable the debug command, no shut the interface and see what happens! I say to use PAP because I know that the "debug ppp chap" command works. I'm more interested in seeing if you can debug PAP. Thanks!
