Heh. The require-pap option means that you require the peer to
authenticate itself to you, and if the peer is an ISP host then the
probability of that is exceedingly small.
The refuse-chap option means that you will refuse to authenticate to the
peer with CHAP. From your description (exact copies of debug logs are
preferred) the peers usually ask for you to authenticate with CHAP, and
they may not have PAP configured as a fall-back option. Pppd cannot force
the ISP to use PAP to authenticate you, the authentication is always
negotiated and either side can refuse any authentication requested by the
other side.

A completed and working PPP connection should not be possible with the
pppd require-pap option present. ???
