*FCS Size has a fixed value in this software release.
** If you enable PPP call-back negotiation on a port, it is strongly recommended
you also enable some sort of authentication (PAP, CHAP, etc.) on the port.
Without authentication, any user who happens to discover the phone number for
that port’s modem could potentially request a call-back and run up unlimited
phone charges. To enable authentication on a port, refer to Chapter 22.
