I've checked the files between my laptop/pcmcia modem and my desktop/3COM External
Modem. Everything is the same. Also checked the files recommended in
the responses below.
- wvdial contains "noauth"
- pap contains the appropriate client,server,secret
- chap contains the appropriate client,server,secret
I even did a complete reinstall of the RH6.1. I still get the same message in the PPP
log:
"The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I couldn't find any
secret (password) which would
let it use an IP address".
The peculiar thing is that it does make the connection - so I know the serial port is
configured (also works in my Win98 configuration).
Still confused.

Jim Hoynacki
