Ah yes David, firstly VK is Australia, I can't for the life of me remember what Canada's prefix is, its been so long since I actually talked on HF. It is close to VK I do remember that though.
Anyway I found this out today, the fact I have to recompile ppp to do this, M$ use encrypted passwords on CHAP, Unix / Linux does not, it uses plain text passwords, hence the need for the chap-secrets file. Now can I do this? I have RH 5.2 which I believe has the right version of glibc, please correct me here, this will be a first. When this is done I will try to repackage pppd.lrp and release it as a M$ variant, that is if anyone wants it. Yes it is a windows machine dialling in, a mate of mine. Strange how the ISP's are resuming C class address ranges, we had that too at work, 256 for 8, not really enough, time to change ISP!

Everything else seems > fine. I had it working fine until our ISP took away our 256-host net and replaced it with a 64-host net. Now I need to use masquerading - we don't have 24 IPs to spare. CHAP probably won't work - if you are, as is likely, using a Windows machine to connect to a Linux system, it probably won't work without compiling PPP with special support for Microsoft's MSCHAP and other Microsoft extensions. I'll let you know how it goes. > Matt > VK4KLM VK4.... Canadian?
