Here are a couple of things to check.

The string "hostname" in the secrets files, is this really what is in the
secrets file?  If so then you need the pppd option <name hostname> since
the actual host name, tardis, is the name pppd looks for in the secrets
file by default.

If you have the pppd <login> option turned on?  If so then is the client a
Win98 that is sending an encrypted password?
