Re: strange problems with PAP authentication (fwd)

I am struggling through learning the PM-2E. For what it is
worth I noticed that the log had two successful connections
noted when I logged on once with my test MACPPP. On checking
one of the connections matched the username in the dialin
script, the other matched the username in the PAP
validation. The connection didn't work until one or the
other was eliminated.

Looks as though the wrong username was being used for the
authentication, I learned after someone parsed those bytes in the
debugging output for me.
