Authentication Protocal

I have just changed over from Suse 8.0 to Mandrake 8.1. The reason I did this was because of hardware issues with Suse 8. Everything is working fine in Mandrake. The RPM installation of the Modem driver was effortless. My modem now works properly. I am still having difficulty connecting to my ISP in linux however. Their AP is PPP, and I am only shown with the options for these protocals: PAP, CHAP, Terminal based, Script based, and PAP/CHAP. My ISP only recognizes PPP. How can I enable this authenication scheme? Please help. Thank you.
PPP isn't an authentication scheme, it's a protocol for establishing an ip link between two hosts over an arbitrary line. PPP doesn't have any authentication mechanism "built in", but relies on certain other protocols to do that, such as pap and chap. Most providers support both protocols, but chap is the more widely used one (as it is more secure, and win uses it as well by default). So, try chap.
