First of all, I'm using Linux and pppd.

Second, if I disable PAP, I get this:

Jan 14 19:44:29  pppd[24516]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <magic 0xe20ff56a> <pcomp> <accomp>]

etc.

This repeats forever until I break the connection.

If I enable PAP, I get this:

Jan 14 19:56:30  pppd[24667]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x3 magic=0x11132914]
etc.

And I cannot either send or receive TCP/IP packets.

Any ideas?

BTW, my current ISP PPP connection works fine.  I just cannot get the
Infonex/Cyberpass PPP connection to work.

Thanks.
