ppp and pap

ppp and pap

[Martin Courcelles]

Hello There:
	I am trying to connect to a new i s p.  The problem is that they are using
pap.  Now if you login in with minicom, the only command that comes up is
"system password".  Now I called the I S P and they are telling me that if
you configure your pap correctly, this prompt will not come up.  I am using
pon and poff for connection via debian.  I mad a chat script which looks
somewhat like this:
abort busy abort no carrier abort voice
'' atdt7694860
"CONNECT"

This logs on to the system and waits for a connect command from the modem. 
All this works fine, but nothing happens afterwords.  I have edited the
pap-secrets command to add the appropriate password and also edited the
ppp.options_ou command to add the approprioate user.  
I have also edit the /et//ppp/options file to have +pap and auth
uncommented.  I also made sure that the login command is commented.  
Now all it does is give me a connection successful and sits there.  If I
tytpe an ifconfig, nothing comes up on the screen for pppd.  I already have
setup the domainname servers speciications and stuff like that.  
Any help would be appreciated.  
P.S.  It works fine under windows 95, wierd.  My conficuration under
windows 95 for dialup connection is:
use ppp connection, with no login into network and use  software
compression no password encryption and use t c p i p protocol.    Get ip
address from server and use ip header compression.

You should get messages through your syslog facility telling you what
went wrong -- be sure to put kdebug 1 as an option to pppd and then
check out what is happening.

I had one yesterday where it said no response to pap authentication
requests and it turned out the isp wasn't working.

Hello,

One of my isp's uses pap, which I set up according to the ppp-howto.
Works fine, ever since.  Much to my relief, I discovered that one can
have many isp's, with and without pap.  Below are my pppd and chat
scripts.  My 'pap-secrets' file consists of one line of the form
<client name>	*	<secret>, with the additional items left out.
Maybe you're missing the "wild card" in the "server" field in
'pap-secrets'?
<pppd script for pap isp here>
#!/bin/sh
#script for calling ursa-major.spdcc.com for a ppp session.
/usr/sbin/pppd debug file /etc/ppp/options.spdcc connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/chat.spdcc" /dev/ttyS1 38400 0.0.0.0: defaultroute crtscts

<end script>

<chat script for same here>

'' AT&F1
OK ATDT2506299
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
TIMEOUT 90
ABORT "BUSY"
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
CONNECT ""
<end chat script>

<ppp options file for spdcc>
lock
name dhunt
<end>

To preserve secrecy, the 'pap-secrets' file is not included here.  See
the ppp-howto for details on this file's contents.
