Hi,

My name is Alan Stone.  I'm new to the mailing list.  I ran across the
TLUG page last night, and wanted to be able to talk to other Linux users
here in Japan.

I have a problem I hope someone can help me with.  I have two ISP
accounts.  One has a regular start-up whereby it prompts me for login
and password, no problem with that one.  However, I recently got an AT&T
account which works fine for my wife's Mac, but when I try to log on, it
does not prompt me for login or password.  I have read some on the uses
of PAP and CHAP, but am a little confused how I can implement that with
the Red Hat 4.1 PPP configuration control-panel.  Could someone help me
out?  I'd really like to get onto the AT&T account since it's much
faster.  Thanks.

Alan
