Well, yes, I can. (It works fine with PAP, of course, but I'm using CHAP.

There is a trick -- I'm not sure quite where I found it -- to using
MS-CHAP/CHAP80 with our pppd. In your chap-secrets file, put
username host password
host username password
When I last looked, MS-CHAP support was compiled in by default.
