Funny, the dash is in the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.default which I copied for this setup. I finally did get this working a little while ago, but the dash in the name wasn't part of the solution. Basically it wouldn't work at all if either side was flagged "-dedicated", but after doing an "allow user ppp" on the server side (which solved the "can't use this label in this mode" error), and doing flag "-auto" on the client side (or "-ddial") and flag "-direct" on the server side, the link came up and works fine. I'll try your "no dash" suggestion as well. Since the connection is working, I guess it doesn't matter whether it's "dedicated" or not.
