Thanks for the information. After reading ppp manuals I found simple
solution for this problem, you should add IP addresses for PAP
authentication in your pap-secrets:
======================/etc/ppp/pap-secrets===========================
# INBOUND connections
* hostname "" 192.168.200.0/24
======================/etc/ppp/pap-secrets===========================
