O.S:  BSDI 2.1

  I have a person running Windows 95 trying to get onto our system via
ppp.  She dials up, types her username password and hits F7 to
continue.  Here is where I can see our external modem on this end hit
"SD" @ 1 every sec for @ 4 seconds then hang up.  After looking in the
/var/log/ppplog I see it gave her a "PPPIOCIPWBOS failed on ppp6"
  I first thought that this could have been her fault with some
config.  After picking through her system and finding nothing I moved
to our end.  I noticed that we have been getting more of these errors.
I myself have gotten a few but never noticed it.  The diff with her is
that she can't get on at all.

Also does anyone know how to setup the system so that our Win95 users
don't have to user the Dial-Up Scripting Util??

Thanks,
