>From the (current) man page:
You are now connected! Note that `PPP' in the prompt has changed to cap-
ital letters to indicate that you have a peer connection. If only some
of the three Ps go uppercase, wait 'till either everything is uppercase
or lowercase. If they revert to lowercase, it means that ppp couldn't
successfully negotiate with the peer. This is probably because your PAP
or CHAP authentication name or key is incorrect. A good first step for
troubleshooting at this point would be to ``set log local phase''. Refer
to the ``set log'' command description below for further details.
With older versions of ppp, you may need to add LCP logging too.
Only getting as far as ``Ppp'' (and no ``PPp'') means that your
authentication failed.
