Do you have the xisp package from 2.1, or do you use an older version?
Check with dpkg -l xisp
It should be 2.5p4-1
If you are using an older version (I suspect so), then upgrade. pppd
2.3.5 (as included in slink) got stricter about the allowed usage of
parameters for unprivileged users.
If I am wrong with my guess, please run
find /etc/ppp -type f | xargs grep "name "
as root, so that I can see where this parameter comes from.
