from usr.sbin/ppp/auth.c
static int
auth_CheckPasswd(const char *name, const char *data, const char *key)
{
if (!strcmp(data, "*")) {
/* Then look up the real password database */
struct passwd *pw;
int result;
result = (pw = getpwnam(name)) &&
!strcmp(crypt(key, pw->pw_passwd), pw->pw_passwd);
endpwent();
return result;
It *appears* that it uses the pwent data.

you could use a dialup script:
proc main
transmit "^M"
waitfor "ogin"
transmit $USERID
transmit "^M"
waitfor "assword"
transmit $PASSWORD
transmit "^M"
endproc
works for my folks.
