It worked! Thank you, Gilles, from remembering me the debug option. I put it in place and next activation attempt showed me that the authentication was rejected by my ISP: I was not sending my userid and password! The issue was in pap-secrets file where the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and password were not enclosed in double quotes. Once I put double quotes around them I was back online in the next pppd activation attempt. Now it is a matter of setting up my firewall and IP masquerading to allow my two sons to access internet again from my home network.
Lessons learned: Do not try to set up two computers at the same time, or if you do, do exactly the same steps in both of them. I had the pap-secrets corrected in one machine but not in the other. Now I will try to work backwards to try to find out why my initial set-up did not work. I'll keep you informed of my findings.
