The cause of the problem isn't yet apparent. We really need the pppd debug
link negotiation messages. Those messages may suggest a solution by what
is or isn't seen in them. They narrow the list of likely causes and
shorten the time needed to determine what's wrong.
Take out the "kdebug 25" above, it's completely bogus, 25 isn't a valid
value and it probably is read by pppd as kdebug 2. Even so kdebug isn't
often needed to solve a PPP problem and the dump of hex numbers just makes
the debug messages hard to read. In it's place put the debug option.
I assume that the crtscts is wrapped to a seperate line by a MUA since
there is no `\' at the end of the preceding line.
The PPP link debug negotiation messages should be in one of the logs in
/var/log . If you can't find any messages that start with LCP then put the
line
daemon.* /var/log/ppp-log
in /etc/syslog.conf, do touch /var/log/ppp-log to create that file, and
then do kill -HUP `pidof syslogd` to make syslogd read the syslog.conf
file. All the PPP messages will then be sent to the ppp-log file.

Well, maybe _this_ is the cause. The first field in the chap-secrets file
should be your ISP username not login. It should be the same as as that
assigned to the name option, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" . Whatever it is
that your ISP wants you to use for the PPP connection goes in both places.
You don't need the final `*' but it shouldn't hurt either.
If this isn't the cause then you'll need to post the PPP debug link
negotiation messages.
