I'm fairly certain inficad doesn't use PAP, but it DOES put a capital
"P" in front of the username to signify you are making a PPP
connection. IOW, my inficad username is "carillon" (all lower case,
without the quotes), but in both W98 DUN and Kppp and straight (command
line) ppp I have to feed it "Pcarillon".

Hope this helps.
