Hi Deepak, I'm not sure if I follow. Say for example you wanted userA to connect via CHAP and userB to connect via PAP, this would indeed be possible, but usera and userb, could not have the same username.
Most of the ISP's that i have worked for only accept CHAP since the password is no passed in clear txt, and most dialup clients now support CHAP. Similarly DDR scenarios, when y ou have your router connecting to anotehr router (or ISP), you would also want to implement CHAP, for obvious security reasons. The only time I have use pa is when use legacy dialup clients that don't support CHAP. Hope this helps.
