Just wanted to share that I am able to connect to my ISP using EzPPP with RedHat 5.0. I've been struggling for weeks, using all kinds of utilities and endlessly re-editing all the various configuration files. While I was able to dial in and establish a PPP connection, the PAP authentication would fail, and the link would immediately go down. It has been *very* frustrating, and since my ISP does not "support" Linux, they were no help at all. What finally worked for me was Jay Painter's EzPPP utility. I followed the directions on the Web site at: http://www.serv.net/~cameron/ezppp/index.html Important to note is that for PAP authentication the /etc/ppp/options file should be *empty*, no chat script is called, and arguments are sent to the pppd command line directly from EzPPP. My arguments are: -detach defaultroute user <username> remotename <domain name from /etc/ppp/pap-secrets> /etc/ppp/pap-secrets should contain, on one line: <username> <domain name> <password> That's it. Dials right in, authenticates, and stays connected. Good luck, fellow Linux newbies. We may escape from Windows yet!
