The PPP documentation always refers to set authname YOURLOGINNAME set authkey YOURPASSWORD At least T-Online, one of the major ISPs in Germany, however expects a "#" in the user name, like this: 00087xxxxxxx320yyyyyyyyy#0001@t-online.de x and y are all digits. When doing set authname 00087xxxxxxx320yyyyyyyyy#0001@t-online.de the 0001@t-online.de part will be cut by PPP, and some dialup nodes will then reject the login. This affects T-DSL -- PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) in particular. Fix: Instead, set authname "00087xxxxxxx320yyyyyyyyy#0001@t-online.de" must be used to make the # a regular character rather than a comment delimiter, so I suggest that examples and documentation be adjusted to read set authname "YOURLOGINNAME" set authkey "YOURPASSWORD" Thanks.
