OK, the million dollar question: does Windows support PAP or (normal)
CHAP?
I know that it supports a scripted username/password login, and that
it supports MS-CHAP. pppd supports PAP and (normal) CHAP, and supports
MS-CHAP *but only as a client*. When run as a server, it does *not*
allow clients to authenticate using MS-CHAP (at least, that's what
pppd's documentation says).
Unless someone else can help you out, then I'd suggest:
1. Add entries to /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
2. Enable the "debug" option in /etc/ppp/options
3. Try connecting without using a .scp file
4. Read the debug logs (and README.MSCHAP80) and see if that leaves
you any the wiser
