- They have shown that it indeed pays to read the

- PAP support is present in the PPP device - since
- about version 1.30. PAP appeared to me to be a
- new concept since I had never heard of it and a
- friend who had used AmiTCP in the past had not
- seen PAP support in the PPP device when he used it
- (a while ago though) The assumption was then that
- there was no such thing in this device and I didn't
- even bother to look. Heh... Oh well.

- Thanks gentlemen!
