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.
