Description Need Real Name 2000-12-12 23:35:36 UTC

One of the features I have found superior in kppp vs. rp3 (using wvdial) is
support for a terminal session for login.  I use RH7 on my home PC as my
default O/S, and dial into work off-hours supporting a bunch of Solaris
servers.  The authentication method used (I didn't choose it, and, yes,
I'll switch to DSL when my phone central office offers it -- :-) for the
dial-up service is based on AXENT Defender.  They provide a Windows
software dialer, which I won't touch in anything less than a class-4 bio
hot-zone.  They also provide a little calculator-sized authentication
device with a keypad, for challenge-response dialing.  In kppp, I simply
choose terminal-based authentication and go to town.  I wish I could use
rp3, since you have GNOME applet integration for line monitoring, etc.  How
about it?

Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still
running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a
current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable.
