PPP password.

During dialup connection to the Yale server via PPP, is the password
encrypted or is it sent in the clear? I have heard some stuff in the
newsgroup that telnet and the email client (using POP) in the Netscape
Communicator sends the password in the clear. Could anyone
verify/substantiate this and provide answers/hints that will lead to
solutions?

Thanks
