  <sigh>  Please use standard terminology.  Using vague and misleading
terminology leads only to confusion.

  Let's de-construct what you said:

 - there is no such thing as "PAP numbers"
   Your ISP may have configured certain lines to use PAP, but that's a
   local issue, and has nothing to do with "pap numbers".  No one else
   understands what you mean when you say "pap numbers".  It's not a
   phrase anyone uses.

 - similarly, you don't "dial into chap"

 - "it" says ...
   I presume you mean FreeRADIUS.  I can't figure out what else it
   could be, but you've taken great care to not mention any real-world
   details, so "it" could be the moon, for all I know.

 - it says "no password".
   If "it" is FreeRADIUS, then no, it doesn't.  It says
   "no User-Password", which is very different.  In fact, one would
    *expect* it to say "no User-Password" when you do CHAP
   authentication, because there honestly IS NO User-Password
   attribute in the packet.


  The summary is that you've just wasted my time and yours, because
you were unwilling to describe what was going on, and because you were
unwilling to run the server in debugging mode and *read* the output,
in order to figure out the problem.

  I'll bet money as to what the problem is, but in the tradition of
dribbling out bits and pieces of useless information, I won't say what
it is in this message.
