Your Reply-To: line is SERIOUSLY broken!! It says your email address is
@generation.net@MNSi.net. This is the last message I'll reply to that has
this broken header. If you want any more help after this you need to fix
it.

Hm, never gets a link. Check that your authname/authkey are correct and
that pap is enabled. You may want to enable lots of logging, then look at
/var/log/ppp.log to see where it's falling over.

Quite possible, or your ISP is disconnecting you.
