Thanks for your comments. It looks like I had it kind of backwards.
If I understand your corrections, an LCP request is more like
saying: "I'm expecting you do talk to me this way..." rather than
saying: "I'm willing to talk to you this way..." --- true?
If so, (and paraphrasing your corrections) are these interpretations
more correct?

PM says: I'm expecting a (simple) single link PPP connection
and I expect you to authenticate using PAP.

Remote says: I want you to talk to me using MP (among other stuff).
(As usual, the remote does not requre the PM to authenticate)
Re: LCP Open
Once one side of the link converges, would it (could it) be renegotiated
or is it then "locked down"?
Thanks for your insight,
