Woa there. From the man page.
name <n>
Set the name of the local system for authentication
purposes to <n>.
...
user <u>
Set the user name to use for authenticating this
machine with the peer using PAP to <u>.
So for chap, you may need name <u>, not user<u>. It's not clear.
Sometimes you can find problems by just running pppd by itself from
the command line (if everything is in /etc/ppp/options) or pppd file
your.ppp.options and see what error messages it prints out. It won't
connect, but it might give you a clue. If you don't get error
messages but stuff like:
}#@!}!}!} }2}!}$}%\}%}&I}&}&'}"}(}"LL~}#@!}!}!}
It means that ppp is trying to start. (Which is good).
