Re: Logging into SWAN

The scroll down button doesn't show the exchange either. Just some
fluffy info about whats going on. I had hoped that there might be some
undocumented feature that would allow a higher level of debug for the
ppp connection that I could utilize.... I'm still hoping for a simple
solution to a simple problem...

#   The exact sequence of menus to get the desired information is:
#   	Preferences/Network/Menu/Options/View Log
#   
#   Thre is a menu item in the script called "Prompt".  I'm not sure how to get 
the
#   challenge to appear in the prompt (nor am I completely sure it can).  If
#   pressing down the scroll down button doesn't make the challenge appear, you
#   might have problems.
#   
#   As a worst case effort, you might have to use a terminal emulator to dial in 
to
#   the service, then after answering the challenge/response authentication, 
start
#   up a connection whose phone number is 00.  The string "00"
#    is a magic phone
#   number saying, don't dial, you're directly connected.  Of course, you have 
to
#   do this fast enough...
