You must have a "set ifaddr" line if you want to use the -auto, 
-alias or -ddial modes.

You may mean "disable lqr".  "Deny lqr" denies negotiations from the 
peer, but still lets your side negotiate it.

In the latest version of ppp, lqr is disabled by default.

This isn't required.  The authname/authkey pair is sufficient to 
connect using pap or chap.  ppp.secret is just for receiving dialins.
