Sometime Today, Parul Mathur assembled some asciibets to say:
the type of authentication used by the ISP. The
options offered are
PAP, CHAP, script-based and terminal-based. My ISP is VSNL and I
VSNL supports PAP, script and terminal. PAP is where the system does
authentication through exchange of certain info. script is where you
have an expect script read from the line, and write to it in exactly the
same way as you would. terminal based is supposed to bring up a
terminal for you to type your username and password.
This is what didn't happen, which is why pppd died.
You need to configure it as script-based, and enter required details in
your script.
There are easier ways however.
