Your options list looks pretty odd (why are most lines commented?)
My options file is:
asyncmap 20a0000
crtscts
escape ff
lock
modem
netmask 255.255.255.0
noipdefault
debug
and I use individual files for each connection, such as:
asyncmap 20a0000
crtscts
escape ff
lock
modem
netmask 255.255.255.0
noipdefault
defaultroute
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chatscripts/hizz"
57600
/dev/ttyS0
demand
idle 300
holdoff 10
my.ip.address.here:158.152.1.222
#kdebug 7
#debug
ipcp-accept-remote
ipcp-accept-local
These files are stored in the directory /etc/ppp/peers, and are used by
starting pppd like this:
pppd call demon
where demon is the name of the above file in the peers directory. If you
use dynamic IP it doesn't matter, just set the local address to be one
of the possible IPs you might get, and make sure that ipcp-accept-local
is set.
So long as the chat script works correctly, this will work. To use pap
authentication, you will want the "name" or "user" option in the second
file.
