Silly question, but did you change the pppd user option and the pap-secrets
file for the new ISP? If this reply doesn't help then you should consider
posting an exact copy of the PPP link negotiation messages, using the pppd
debug option.

I don't do Windows :) but it sounds like this might be regular
login/password at the ISP followed either by automatic PPP, or a
requirement to enter something at a prompt or menu to start the ISP PPP.

|1. Is there more than one kind of PAP authentication ?
Yes. The two I know about are the regular PAP and SPAP, Shiva PAP, a
proprietary version that in some manner transforms the password that's
sent, perhaps in the fashion of the Unix password in the passwd file.
You could also send a hashed password instead of the actual password in
the PAP authentication request, although both sides would have to agree to
that and the real password regenerated outside of the PPP.

You can use minicom to connect to the ISP and see what prompts or menus it
might present. This can help find just what login/password prompts might
be used as well as anything following those that might be needed to start
PPP there. Then it should be just a matter of writing the proper chat
expect/sends.
