What are the options that you are passing to ppp?

For instance, I start ppp with the command...

ppp -auto -nat -quiet papchap

It looks like ppp is trying to use the chat script, which is going to fail
every time if the server is using PAP.  To get ppp to use PAP with your
ppp.conf you will need to do something like this....

ppp -auto fisi_auth
