I had a similar problem w/ dialup. The errors were
[ppp] remote message: Authentication failure
[ppp] PAP Authentication failed
[ppp] Connection terminated
Don't know if this will work for you. I found that for
the few moments that I connected a couple of ip
addresses were put into one of my logs. Away from my
gentoo unit right now and can't recall which one.
These I copied into /etc/resolve(?), guessing here, as
the primary and secondary DNS numbers. Then when I
entered pon MyISP in a console the connection held!
HTH!
