Is your ISP 'INTX'? They want you to use PAP for the login procedure. (Note: the other access number for these guys uses the standard username/password procedure. You may want to try it.) You will need to set up PPP to use the pap-secrets file to get this connection to work. INTX also doesn't work with compressed headers so disable this in the pppd command string.
