PAP is the most commonly used protocol, and some systems
also support CHAP. The CHAP option should be used if the dial-up servers use text
prompts to ask for the username and password. If in doubt, select PAP.
4. User name and password??”Enter the username and password that will be recognized
by the dial-up server.
5. Speed??”This is the speed that your computer and your modem will communicate with
one another. In most cases, this should be set to 115200.
6. Dialing method??”If your telephone system requires pulse dialing, you can configure
that here.
7. Phone number??”Enter the number that you need to dial in order to reach the dial-up
server, including any area codes and other codes that may be needed. For instance, if
you have to dial 9 in order to reach an outside line, use 9,. The comma
tells your modem to pause before continuing the dialing process. You may also enter the
appropriate numbers for disabling features such as call waiting through your telephone
service.
8. Modem configuration method??”Here, you can have pppconfig attempt to automatically
find the port that your modem is on. If a modem is not found, you will then be
given the chance to enter the path to the modem device. More information about what to
enter here can be found in the sidebar ???Identifying and Configuring Your Modem??? later in
this chapter.
