   With Arachne, _I_ choose either PAP/CHAP or log-in script.
When I choose the script, it fails. When I leave it to PAP/CHAP only, it
logs in slick as the proverbial.

   From what I can see it uses PPPD, and (among other differences) it
also accepts the DNS numbers from the server. This was lucky for me,
because without those particular DNS numbers I wasn't even able to
access my mail boxes with ANYTHING !

   Steven, if I install ppp.tgz from /n2/ of SW7.1 into BL2, will I mess
up what is already there from a standard BL2 setup ?
