Now why didn't Livingston technical support tell me this when I called?
I had someone call me back *three* days after I placed the original
trouble call. I was having problems with Internet in a Box version 2
logging in to a PM2 using PAP authentication. The answer I got was "Uh,
I don't know. Try posting to portmaster-users". Why couldn't he have
said "We don't support PAP"?
