Tom,
When I used PAP, I ended up with the following entries in the PPP log:
pppd 2.3.10 started by root, uid 0
using interface ppp0
connect ppp0 <--> /dev/cua1
pap authentication failed --- another attempt --- lcp timeout sending
config-requests
connection terminated
exit
Diagnosis:
The remote system does not seem to answer to configuration request! Contact your
provider!
With CHAP:
pppd 2.3.10 started by root, uid 0
using interface ppp0
connect ppp0 <--> /dev/cua1
chap authentication failed --- another attempt --- lcp terminated by peer
connection terminated
exit
Diagnosis:
Check that you supplied the correct username and password.
I know that my username and password are correct as I use them to access the net
using one of our Win98 boxes.
I even tried terminal-based. But after entering the username and password I got
the error message that it was "Incorrect Service Type - Username/Password
Incorrect". On several attempts, when the terminal window opened up, the prompts
for username and password never occurred and I the ppp log recorded that the
"serial line is looped back... connection terminated." And on other attempts when
the terminal window opened up, unreadable (garbage) flew across the terminal
screen and ppp log.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Lori
