Win95 to Linux PPP

Grab yourself a copy of RoboDUN.
It automates the out-of-band authentication
(Terminal Window) process for Win95.

You can get a copy at
www.tucows.com

Look under Win95 Accessories.

Subject:  Win95 to Linux PPP

Having been a Win95 beta customer, I was most annoyed to find that   
Microsoft
ripped out support for login chat during PPP initialization.  (They   
wanted
to sell more NT servers, I guess :-|)

Has anyone here configured a Linux box to authenticate PPP users without
going through a login prompt?

If you use the login prompt instead of PAP/CHAP, you wind up having to
manually type the login name and password--Win95 doesn't have a way to
automate this.
