It appears to me that pppd may not know what username to use for PAP authentication. Try using: pppd-options asyncmap 0 user YourPPPUserName Now, one effect of this is that YourPPPUserName (but not password) will end up in the logs. If this is undesirable, you could create a file called /etc/ppp/peers/dialdopts and in that file place: asyncmap 0 user YourPPPUserName And then in /etc/diald/diald.options just have: pppd-options call dialdopts
