I ran into the same thing and fixed it barely 24 hours ago. I edited:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/diald
I added:
if [ -n "${PAPNAME}" ] ; then
pppopts="$pppopts name ${PAPNAME}"
fi
After:
if [ -n "${LCP_ECHO_INTERVAL}" ] ; then
pppopts= <<<cut to save typing>>>
fi
This should fix the problem.
As soon as I can find the rpm author's e-mail address, I was going to send
him this patch to include in the next version.
