>While doing some debugging related to our recent ticket, we noticed

>dialin NASes were prompting for PAP logins before prompting for CHAP
>logins.  This is really good behaviour, considering the broken state
>of Windows clients, but we didn't think that Ascend NASes could handle
>this correctly.  With all of the Ascend hardware and software we've
>examined, they always send CHAP requests before PAP requests, which
>can lead to some problems when authenticating against a UNIX-style
>user database.  This has become a major issue for some of our partners.

>Anyways, I was wondering if you could get me in touch with one of your
>expert-level Dialinx engineers who understands your NASes very well.
>We're trying to configure one of our own test NASes (the ones we use
>for testing our software) in a similar manner to the way you've
>configured them but have so far been entirely unsuccessful.  We 
>could really use your experts' help, because Ascend hasn't been very
>helpful.
