I do not use PSI as my ISP but I had a similar problem
with AT&T Worldnet.
Your ISP is trying to authenticate with either PAP or
CHAP. Can't tell which one from below, but I think the
following will work in either case:
Put in both your /etc/pap-secrets and /etc/chap-secrets
files:
username * password
Put into diald.conf:
user username
where username is your login id for PSI.
Good luck!
