If the ISP supports PAP or CHAP authentication then for pppd it's a matter
of adding the option "name Your_ISP_Login_Name" (w/o quotes) and
configuring the appropriate secrets file. For CHAP it's the
file/etc/ppp/chap-secrets with the single line
Your_ISP_Login_Name * Your_ISP_Password
with the obvious substitutions. For PAP configure the file
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets in the same way.

It is not appropriate.
