The keyword here is 'chat script', the PortMaster will not PAP a network user that has already athenticated via a chat script. So there are actually 3 forms of authentication for network users.
1. Chat script.
If the user chats his way in you'll notice in the LCP negotiation that there is never any mention of authentication; PAP or CHAP
2. PAP
3. CHAP
