Well, he has 2 ISPs, he got it to work with both (connected), but only
if in his pap-secret file he didn't use single lines.
Normally a simple: user * passwd should work
But NONE of that kind of format would work, so he had to do:
user
passwd
 And it worked!, weird. really weird.
(all LF only of course, and triple-checked).
Anyway, his both ISP work, but VERY VERY slow, dropping packets, etc,
NO good at all. Actually we could think that both of his isp are crap,
but they work fast under sting. So there is a problem somewhere.
