I'm getting a chap auth failure "wrong password" while attempting to 
auth against what the ISP tells me is a Cisco Access Server. (see ppp 
debug below)
I've verified the password etc. by testing this same connection with 
Windose, and I've looked and checked again my entry in chap-secrets. I'm 
able to auth against other ISPs using chap MD5, just not this one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
