I'm assuming you're running user mode ppp here.

This means that you _must_ use chap or can you continue to use your login?

It goes into /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.

Most ISPs now, for Windoze simplicity, assume a pap login immediately upon
connection.  But it looks like you'll need to log in then authenticate via
chap.  

take a look at the ``chapsite'' profile to get you started.  Just modify
this to match your needs.  Set authname and authkey to your username and
password.

If you have a script to log in now, you can just bring over your login
script as needed.
