The ISP doesn't start ppp automatically, your dialer does. (I use
wvdial) normally wvdial would handover the authentication to ppp when
the dialing is done & carrier established. Not sure what your using to
dial, but depending on authentication type, (PAP or CHAP) pppd needs
these files:
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
These files look like:
<userid> <device> <isp-passwd>
eg: fred * mypassword ; for user fred on any link with
passwd mypassword
or; fred ppp0 mypassword ; for user fred on ppp0 with passwd
mypassword.
Hope this helps,
