Incase you have trouble with the way Eric does his PAP, you may consider the
way my diald goes about this.. Because diald is supposed to dialup and load
the PPP program on the remote computer before loading PPP on its own box, i
had to make my connection script run in the background. Reason being: My
provider cans the connection if there is no PAP peer to authenticate with it
right away, and the only way to do this was to have PPP loaded on my
computer.. by adding a & after my dialing script under diald, diald was able
to dial out and think it has established a connection, hence loading PPP
which would wait for the moment when it was to authenticate itself.. This is
all assuming that you can of course connect to your provider using PAP and
PPP without diald...
