Yes, but when Turnpike was in version 1, there were several dozen ISPs
in their list, and none used PAP/CHAP. I know this because when we
opened our service and I tried to use Turnpike, it revealed a bug in the
Turnpike Connect software that would have prevented (IIRC) any PAP/CHAP
authentication ever happening. But it was only version 1, so we forgave
it :-)
