Are you sure that you configured kppp for PAP correctly? Kppp is a
frontend for pppd and I don't know the kppp configuration procedure. But
with pppd you need the option "user YourISPusername" and a line in the
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets file of this form
YourISPusername * YourISPpassword
with the obvious substitutions for the "Your..." tokens.

You shouldn't need this scripting with PAP authentication.

The login/password may be an alternative to PAP authentication at the ISP.
Often when an ISP switchs to a PPP authentication protocol there may be
"legacy" prompts, although they usually don't work to provide a viable
PPP connection.
