If you can dial-up connect to your ISP thru Win95, you can set a
feature of recording a log file in dial-up adapter in network. It
gives you a log file called "ppplog.txt" in Windows directory.
It reads like this:
 >>>  05-31-1998 09:26:12.07 - Remote access driver log opened.

In this, you can clearly see that PAP authorization is used. It is
requested by ISP and complied by Win95. If ISP uses shell type login,
ISP does not require PAP nor CHAP authorization in ppp, instead gives
s user two similiar usernames to differenciate between telnet account
and ppp account. Win95 just bring up the terminal for a user to
manually log in for shell type account, if a user set up so
accordingly instead of setting a password in dial-up connection dialog 
window. /usr/sbin/diald can automate this process using 'connect "sh
connect"' command. I don't know how to automate shell login in Win95. 
Also if I don't explicitly negatively set PAP nor CHAP option in
/etc/ppp/options and set passwords in both /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets files, /usr/sbin/pppd will accomodate whatever
ISP requires of authorization. So it is automated too.

So it is my conclusion that if I can set up dial-up connection in
Win95, I can set up dial-up connection in Linux too. 

Also I can set up log file in dial-up connection. It is called
"modemlog.txt" in Windows directory. It shows what is your
initializing codes to your modem. You can borrow the codes and put
them into /etc/diald/connect script.

I assumed using diald and debian because those are my favoriates
according to my situation and currently what I am using.

Kei.
