Somewhere there was a failure between ISP L2TP layer and the infrastructure during authentication. The CHAP success don't reach me at 80% of the trials, so pppd drop packets thinking authentication has failed. I had the chance that PAP was working. The explanation why it was working in 20% case could be because I connect to a balanced authentication server farm and some of them only were correctly set.
