Re: (ASCEND) System password prompt

[Matthew <M@marketingms.com>]

With most Linux setups (if not all)  you can configure the
pppd script to use no login/password at all,  just set the
chap or pap authentication (MS uses chap).   I used to use
Linux (now NetBSD) and I gave up using login/password pair
authentication long ago in favour of PAP.
