We had a case of a service that proxied to our RADIUS and tried to do CHAP.
Our network engineers fixed this by putting the following into the DEFAULT
profile for that client:

  Ascend-Send-Auth = Send-Auth-PAP

I cannot speak to what this attribute does or if any special settings were
configured on the router.  I leave that to someone with a more vested
interest in this scenario to figure out.
