>Many ISPs and corporate PPP servers use PAP. If your server does
<I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>not</I
> require you to use PAP (if you can log in manually and receive
the standard user name/password text based prompts it does not use PAP),
you can safely ignore this section.</P
><P
>Instead of logging into such a server using a user name and password
when prompted to enter them by the server, a PPP server using PAP does
not require a text based login.</P
><P
>The user authentication information instead is exchanged as part of the
link control protocol (LCP), which is the first part of establishing a
PPP link.</P
><P
>Section <A
HREF="pap.html"
>Chapter 16</A
> provides information on the files you need to set up to
establish a PPP link using PAP.</P
