HA! I remember this from before I got cable access. While futilely hoping the telco would get DSL out here in the sticks, I did dial to my ISP. Auth was either PAP or CHAP. IIRC, ISP preferred CHAP and that's what we did (PtoP).

Having to stop the passwords on plaintext (on the ISP side) always makes me raise an eyebrow toward any place that offers CHAP as authentication. Then again, I always use different passwords everywhere, so that is not usually a big issue.
