good to hear that :->

just enable those parameters instead of disable it... but still the client 
is the one choosing what kind of authentication takes place... but i still 
strongly advise to use mschapv2 instead of pap, chap and mschapv1 for 
security purposes both for wired and wireless pppoe authentication...

one important side note especially if you are using radius for your pppoe 
authentication and the radius accounting server is at remote location... 
after the client disconnects... ppp will just simply send *one* accounting 
packet without waiting for the reply from radius accounting server for 
acknowledgement and exit immediately... this will affect your proper 
accounting and single login policy because the radius server still think 
that the user is still online...

brian, to whom we will contact to fix this problem? thanks...
