You'll need the very latest rp3 plus the very latest versions of several
other packages.  If you have Lorax or up-to-date rawhide, you can get the
packages in ftp://people.redhat.com/johnsonm/rp3/ and install them, and
I'll be very interested in your feedback.  I have tested that very latest
version with several ISPs that require PAP, successfully in every case.

If you can include "rp3" in the subject line when sending your feedback,
I'll be able to find it easier, as I'm somewhat overwhelmed at the
moment...

Thanks!
