Look at /etc/ppp/options
<!---snippet---!>
# Require the peer to authenticate itself before allowing network
# packets to be sent or received.
# Please do not disable this setting. It is expected to be standard in
# future releases of pppd. Use the call option (see manpage) to disable
# authentication for specific peers.
#auth
<!----snippet---!>
In *YOUR* /etc/ppp/options, you will have "auth" uncommented,
.. that is, with no "#" in front. Now, add the # ... so as to disable
it, and to violate what the pppd manpage tells you not do, and it will
work fine.
You owe me a cookie now :-)
