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.
