The pppd manpage describes some options to control PAP. I think the option
pap-timeout n
Set the maximum time that pppd will wait for the
peer to authenticate itself with PAP to n seconds
(0 means no limit).
could help you with your problem. Just put a line with
pap-timeout 120
at the end of /etc/ppp/peers/your_provider.
