Correct, my error.  In the situations it was failing, it was being invoked
incorrectly, which lead to it not getting at the right set of ppp options
which meant pppd not knowing who it was or who it was calling and hence
unable to authenticate.

I'd love to know what those options mean, is there a reference anywhere
that I could look up?  Yes, I also find it interesting that the options
don't appear to be completely consistant!?  At least it doesn't appear to be
the cause of this failure.

Thanks,
