Re: Specify authentication protocol on dialup connection?

Alas, there is no such setting on my Axim X50v running Windows Mobile 5.
(The only radio in the Axim is the bluetooth--so there is no GPRS Settings
choice).

Is there a way to select PAP either directly in the connection settings in
the registry or using a 3rd party utility?
