ppp_sec_auto

This asynchronous/synchronous parameter, used in conjunction with the
ppp_security_protocol parameter, allows the use of auto_detect mode
for PPP clients regardless of whether the clients support PAP/CHAP. The
values for the parameter are Y or N, with N as the default.

ppp_security_protocol

This asynchronous port parameter defines the security check for the peer
that the Annex requires before starting the network control protocol. If
the Annex wants to use security and the peer refuses, the Annex closes
the link. Valid options are chap (challenge-handshake protocol), pap
(password authentication protocol), chap-pap, and none. The default is
none.
LCP requests for CHAP received by the Annex are always ACKed,
regardless of this parameter's setting.

ppp_username_remote

This asynchronous port parameter defines the user name by which the
Annex identifies itself when the remote PPP peer asks for authentication.
The string size ranges from 0 to 15 characters. The default is a null string
("").
