Hi, I need to dial in to my ISP to get into the internet. ISP requires PAP authentication. Formerly I have used wvdial, but with Slackware I cannot use it anymore because it needs the passwordfd.so plugin for pppd for PAP authentication. And that plugin comes only with SuSE, binary only. So now I have asked myself what I would need to do to set up a PPP connection with PAP auth to my ISP "manually" i.e. without using any tools. I'd like to know what is involved in that. I know about pap-secrets file. I do not know how to dial, establish ppp connection, do PAP authentication. So I'd be really glad if someone could help in that direction. I also know C, so if I would need to write some program myself, I could do so. I just need to about the things that need to be done. In my case it's an analog modem.
