Win95 to Linux PPP



Having been a Win95 beta customer, I was most annoyed to find that Microsoft
ripped out support for login chat during PPP initialization.  (They wanted
to sell more NT servers, I guess :-|)

Has anyone here configured a Linux box to authenticate PPP users without
going through a login prompt?

If you use the login prompt instead of PAP/CHAP, you wind up having to
manually type the login name and password--Win95 doesn't have a way to
automate this.
