Here's the profile that I use for most users: DEFAULT Auth-Type=whatever, Framed-Protocol=PPP Reply-Message="Welcome to ..." You'll note that I don't send a netmask, ip address, pool information, compression, or anything else. You'll also note that I use the Framed-Protocol as a check item. Users don't get authenticated unless they're using PPP/PAP. For MLPPP users, you'll need to do something like this: mlpppuser Auth-Type=whatever, Framed-Protocol=PPP Port-Limit = 2, Ascend-Maximum-Channels = 2 You'll also need to duplicate some attributes for those profiles requiring other things, such as extended or unlimited time limits. -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254 They told me to think out of the box, but I tripped over it, now I own my own company. ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request at bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq>
