I got my laptop to successfully connect through modem. It authenticates using a PAP secret. I'm using Debian Sarge, command line only for now. The important PPP option I needed to add:
user foo (Note: foo here represents my login).
I also added this to the pap-secrets file:
foo * bar (Note: foo represents login; bar represents password)In your case Harald, in Suse Linux it looks like pppd is trying to use a script to submit the login and password. If you can disable or modify the script somehow and just use PAP to authenticate, it might work.
But honestly I don't know the specifics of Suse Linux. Maybe there's a GUI dialup configuration tool to set authentication to use PAP.

I have a dialup router/firewall at home running Smoothwall Linux. It still connects fine the same way it has been. It's configured to use "PAP or CHAP authentication". But I also have I laptop computer that fails to do a PPP connect (the modem works fine). On the laptop I'm only using PAP: I'll try CHAP next and see what happens.

It looks like it you might be needing to have it pause for a second or two between authenticating and initialising ppp
also check http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialPPP-Dial-in.html to see if you can twiddle the settings
I'm pretty sure that epud is still using Universal Telecom to handle the dialup connections
so it may be that they have changed their RADIUS setup.

Two to three weeks ago, about the time EFN was moving its servers and becoming a Brand Name owned by EPUD my SuSE linux 9.0 on a Laptop ceased to be able to connect.
Quoting my LOG from memory:
( ed.: little list follows)Looks like a login sending login looks like a password request sending password NO SUCH COMMAND AS "PPP" Legal COMMANDShangup don't know what to do trying to start ppp NO CARRIER
No matter how I jiggle YAST - no joy.
My MAC OS X G-4 hasn't even noticed a bump in the road. I sign on "as usual" every day.
I just Installed SuSE 9.1 Pro, clean install, formatting everything, and:

Sigh............ I called both EFN and EPUD and am told "Linux isn't supported".
The last time rather well shall we say "crisply"?
Please, some GURU help me here. I am a perennial newbie and need to make my Linux Laptop go on the go.
Multiple nested thank u zzz.
