Write your reply.

assistant: Thanks to all, for their replies about PAP!
For some reason I could not connect to http://www.fx.de (it could be
my ISP fault. I did find In-Joy v1.0 by searching shareware.com.
It does PAP real good. But I couldn't get the Dial On Demand
enabled, even after connecting and disconnection to my ISP like the
docs said... I dunno, didn't spend a whole lot of time with it and
it may have been because I had a old version plus I had to use
PKZIPFIX to unpack it... Hmmmm.
But I finally did (after many hours of work) get the command line
ppp.exe to connect to NetINS using PAP (with or without PPPDIAL29)
I have a very sparse how-to-do from the E-mail message that I sent
to the author of PPPDIAL. It's included below if your interested...
and if your not just hit Next Message :-)
