Subject: SCOUG-Help: PAP and OS/2

I'm sending this from an alternate account I have, and you should send
any response to this to this account (aw585@lafn.org) as well as the
scoug-help list.

A few months back, my main ISP implimented some PAP parts of the PPP
protrocol, and rendered my connection scipts obsolete.
After talking it over with them on the phone, they revealed an alternate
method for making the ppp connections, I updated the scripts and
everything *was* working fine.

Since Saturday afternoon, I haven't been able to make the PPP connection,
and I fear they may of implimented more restrictive use of PAP.
Maybe they are just having problems over the week end, but my
modem makes the connection, and the prompts that usually come up don't,
just the very first indicating that the connection has been made.
So I'm not going to count on it till I speak with someone at the ISP,
and besides, I should learn how to deal with PAP anyway.
From my looking over the documents for the OS/2 (Warp 3.0, latest updates
to the PPP package), it looks like the dialer etc. should be able to
handle PAP, but I really don't have a clue of how to deal with it.
Can anyone out there explain how to do this to me, maybe provide an
example script?

Regards,
Dallas E. Legan
