Very Computer

Has anyone successfully connected a Linux PPP session to AT&Ts' Worldnet
service.  Their doc says that they use CHAP which I have set up but I think
my problem is with the way they expect the userid & passwords to come in.

Let me explain...  Upon negotiated modem connection, worldnet presents a
"Please Sign-on:" prompt.  If I reply my 9 character userid, I then get the
password prompt.  Replying my password to this I get an invalid userid
message.

goes into the PPP negotiation which fails.

My chap & pap -secrets files both have
9charuserid      *           password

h......e.......l........p!!!!

Thanks in advance...........
