Karl,
Thank you for the pointer to that article. That is exactly what is happening to me. I guess what I need from Apple is the correct way to save the PPP password on the Keychain and how I should link the PPP Service to that password. Anyone from Apple care to weigh in on this ??? Is there a Tech Note on this change ?
Thanks -
Alec Carlson
