I think I'm pretty close to successfully establishing a ppp connection to
my ISP. My ISP uses CHAP as part of it's sign-on protocol. I'm running
RedHat Linux 5.2. I've configured a ppp interface in the netconfig
graphical tool, plus added some lines to various files. Can anybody help
with ppp when CHAP is involved. I make a connection but it times out or I
get a message saying the serial line looped back and the connection
terminates. Thanks in advance. I'll provide more info if somebody would
tell me what they need to know. By the way, I'm a Linux newbie, no
experience with Unix.
