Question or Symptom

What's this "P" login name? Why do I have two login names but only one account?

Resolution

  SWCP accounts have 2 login names, e.g:
  "login" and "Plogin". The "P" one is a PPP login name. It's used only
  in the setup of your dialup networking software. When the terminal server
  sees that one, it knows to start a PPP session instead of just a text
  mode session. The "login" (without the P) is used for checking email.
