- Could someone explain to me the benefit of PAP/CHAP authentication to a
- user of a dial-up end-node (e.g., a workstation dialing into a company
- LAN)? Doesn't it just provide a second level of authentication? And I
- suppose it also allows you to enforce a particular IP address on the
- dial-in user. Is that pretty much it?
-
- Thanks!
