[OLUG] Red Hat 6.1 PPP Problems

[Brian Roberson]

looks like alltel is using chap , not pap. You will need to setup your
config to allow for this, pppd knows about chap, but needs to be configured
properly. e.g. It will startup ppp, THEN authenticate with a
challenge-response type method. you will need to setup your ppp connection
to use chap, if you use `netcfg` ( The redhat gui config ) there is an
option to use chap instead of pap, I dont know if kppp has this option or
not.
