Re: (ASCEND) PAP and CHAP with TNT

That will force everyone to use PAP. MS Windows 9x and probably 2000 can
do PAP when they are forced to ;-) [there's pap, chap, MS Chap]. The Windows
boxes won't mind ... they'll just be told that PAP is the only option when they
connect.

We had situations where we had to do PAP only because the Radius Software
expected that and would fail authentication on CHAP [MS CHAP?].
