How can I use encrypted passwords to work while loging in demon.nl?
I use pap-secrets and it works with a unencrypted password. Now I put
papcrypt in /etc/ppp/options and use crypt/3 with some random seed to
encrypt the password and put that so encrypted password on the place of
password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets but this doesn't work. Should I use
some special seed?  Encrypt in a other way? Does demon not suppot it?
What should I do instead?

As far as I know demon doesn't support it. Unless demon.nl is different
to demon.co.uk in how they log in. (or they have changed recently)

You can't. We don't support encrypted passwords, as that would require
us to have the clear text version of your password available, which we
do not have.
