Hi, What I meant, was that if it I run with "auth" than the CHAPS authentication fails. If I run with "noauth", all works OK. I saw a note in "options" stating that the "auth" should not be disabled, and I'm not sure I should worry about this or not.
I changed this in "options" prior to rerunning "pppconfig" the second time. You are correct, there is a "noauth" inserted by pppconfig into "etc/peers/provider" now. So, I guess that I shouldn't worry about this authentication after all? Thanks for explaining the NAKs, and the fact that the compression won't matter that much.
