The NAME field is what ties the dialer map statement to a particular remote
destination (there may be more than one). If there is no name field, then
the router will use caller ID to identify the far end, but that only works
if the dial string exactly matches incoming caller ID (which is rare).
If you don't use a NAME in the dialer map, you may find that the routers
will authenticate okay, and the call will stay up, but no traffic will pass
over the link.
ALso keep in mind that names are only exchanged as part of the
authentication process. Save yourself much grief: always use names, always
use chap.
