Dan,

Yes, this IS off-topic. However, I routinely use linux PPP to connect
with an Alpha-NT RAS server. Get your hands on the latest PPP
distribution (ppp-2.2.0f at the time of this posting) and take a look at
the file called: README.mschap80. You must apply it as a patch, then
rebuild pppd. Follow the directions for configuring chap-secrets
carefully.

Good luck!

Steve
