   These are two routers' configuration:
   
   LEFT:
   hostname left
   username right password sameone
   int bri 0
     encapsulation ppp
     ppp authentication CHAP
     ip add 1.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
     dialer-map ip 1.0.0.2 name right 555-2345
   
   RIGHT:
   hostname right
   username left password sameone
   int bri 0
     encapsulation ppp
     ppp authentication CHAP
     ip add 1.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
     dialer-map ip 1.0.0.1 name left 555-4321
   
   The question is: in CHAP authentication, the hostname is sent within
   the challenge packet and is used to look up the password. So why do
   we need the 'name' in the dialer-map statement? Is it an option or a
   necessity?
