>Description:
A friend's ISP recently switched from CHAP to PAP without informing
anyone. It'd be nice if NetBSD's pppoe(4) could attempt multiple
authentication schemes in succession from a configurable list.

>How-To-Repeat:
Use a DSL service that secretly changes PPPoE auth scheme. Discover
that Internet connection has stopped working.

>Fix:
None provided, sorry.
