  12
  13 == OPTIONS
  14 The following options are understood:
  15
  16 `--username=USERNAME`::
  17         Sets the username for authentication.
  18
  19 `--password=PASSWORD`::
  20         Sets the password for authentication.
  21         +
  22         Use the `--auth=` option to transmit it in a secure manner to the provider.
  23
  24 `--mtu=N`::
  25         Sets the default MTU of the PPP connection.
  26
  27 `--auth=[chap|pap]`::
  28         Define the authentication method that is used to authenticate against your
  29         provider. The default is to use the provider's preference.
  30
  31         * _Challange-Handshake Authentication Protocol_ (`chap`) is the preferred,
  32         secure method.
  33         * _Password Authentication Protocol_ (`pap`) sends the plaintext password
  34         to the authentication server which is the reason why it should be avoided.
  35

  37         By this option, you may define the name of the access concentrator.
  38
  39 `--service-name=STRING`::

  46         By this option, you may enable or disable the delegation through your
  47         provider of one IPv6 prefix to your system.
