	Password	or [Outgoing]. Enter the password for your Prestige when it
		calls this Remote Node.
Outgoing:	Authen	This field sets the authentication protocol used for
		outgoing calls.
		Your Prestige supports two authentication protocols:
		PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP
		(Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol).
		• PAP sends the user name and password in plain text.
		• CHAP scrambles the password before it is sent over
		the wire.
		Generally speaking, CHAP is more secure than PAP;
		however, PAP is readily available on more platforms.
		The recommendation is to use CHAP whenever possible.
		Turning off the authentication is STRONGLY discouraged.
		Options for this field are:
		• CHAP/PAP - Your Prestige will try CHAP when	[CHAP/PAP]
		CHAP is requested by the Remote Node or PAP
		when PAP is requested by the Remote Node.

•CHAP - use CHAP only.

•PAP - use PAP only.
