- PPP PAP :- Pacenet implements STANDARD PAP auth over the pppoe link,
but with a twist. They send the username as is, but dont send the password the same way. Instead, they encode the password into a numeric string, and send that as the password. All i had to do was to use ethereal in windows as my dialer was connecting, capture the numeric string, and bingo, i use that numeric string as my password in linux. It works like a charm, and you have the same username in linux and windows.

I tested this in Windows. Its right. I connected without the dialer. Will test in Linux after my exams.
In Linux, I think you can use the pppoe tool and the given username with this loooong numeric string (4 times no. of characters in your password) as your password. Wonder if it works. Please let us know.
I want to know from Mr. Rajeev if they still have the 64kbps rule - no support for Linux for packs below 64kbps. Though if the method suggested by you works in spite of that, it would be great.
