It's still there in auth.c for ppp-2.3.9, but is not advertised. Dunno
whether it works or not though.
Here is the man page from ppp-2.2.0f :
+ua <p>
Agree to authenticate using PAP [Password Authenti-
cation Protocol] if requested by the peer, and use
the data in file <p> for the user and password to
send to the peer. The file contains the remote user
name, followed by a newline, followed by the remote
password, followed by a newline. This option is
obsolescent.
YMMV
