Well, yes, I can.  (It works fine with PAP, of course, but I'm using CHAP.
:-)

There is a trick -- I'm not sure quite where I found it -- to using
MS-CHAP/CHAP80 with our pppd.  In your chap-secrets file, put

	username	host		password
	host		username	password

When I last looked, MS-CHAP support was compiled in by default.
