As I promised earlier, here is the options file I have used to get
through the PAP at IIT. Obviously, I have changed the passwords but we
do not use a user name.
I am still having a problem with occasional disconnects due to my
machine's PPP not receiving responses for four acknowledgements in a
row. I don't know if this is due to a hardware problem with my no-name
brand 14,400 modem or if there is something wrong at IIT or if kerneld is
just terminating things after a minute of inactivity. I will continue to
investigate and keep you updated.

I have removed the commented-out options and informative standard
comments to save space...
Note that the password and user name are in the file called
/etc/ppp/pap-names which contains two lines, the first with the user name
and the second with the password.
