Very Computer

Hi,

Like alot of others, I'm having problems connecting to AT&T with Linux. All
software is from Slackware '96 (2.0.27 of the kernel, 2.2.0f of ppp). It
appears from the log that the CHAP negotiation fails (the LCP Config Rej
lines) but yet I can get an IP address. Executing 'netstat -rn' loks okay
and 'ifconfig' does too except it shows an error with one receive packet.
After about 10 seconds, the connection drops. The chap-secrets file was set
up as the example from WURD so I'm guessing one of the options is amiss.

Any help would be appreciated,
Mark

The log output you posted is consistent with your chap secret being
"wrong".

You need to put your chap secret in "double quotes" in your chap-secrets
file.  AT&T secrets tend to contain special characters like "*", which
will not be transmitted properly unless your secret is contained
in double quotes.

Hope this helps you.  Worldnet works fine from Linux for me.

Looks to me like you've got "+chap" and maybe "+auth" in you
ppp-options.  If so remove them.  For details "man pppd".
