Thanks Jim

I think I'm still having trouble at a slightly earlier stage.
I got syslog to log the LCP session and here is what I have.
I could use a hand in decoding this conversation.
It looks to me like rebellion is telling netopia that it doesn't want to 
use chap MD5

Jul 12 09:53:19 rebellion pppd[306]: sent [LCP ConfNak id=0x2 <auth chap 
MD5>]

And it seems like it got a good answer....

<asyncmap 0xa0000> <auth pap> <endpoint 13 09 03 00 00 c5 7d ab 24>]

But I am not certain I am reading this correctly...
