Specifying '+pap' on the user end would require the ISP to authenticate
itself to the user's system using it's own secret. As the user doesn't
have an entry for the ISP in the pap-secrets, the ISP will be rejected.
Only the ISP end should specify '+pap'. In sideways' case, it seems
unlikely (not impossible) that the ISP uses PAP if they have a text login
sequence (userid and password).
