Very Computer

As far as I understand, from the debug output, the isp wants me to
authenticate myself using chap, I have put my login, the providername and
the password in cleartext tab-seperated into the chap-secrets file and I
have set the corresponding user- and remotename-values in the options file
and even added -pap for good luck. One thing worth mentioning is the fact

I am using pppd version 2.2pl0 compiled into the kernel 2.0.35.

I think that I am not very far from a working connection, but something
still seems to go terribly wrong and your help is truly appreciated ; I
will post a summary to comp.os.linux.networking when I get this one going.

Best regards

The instructions are for Worldnet.att.net users, but since they use
CHAP, are appropriate for other servers who use CHAP.
