Your 'connect' chat script should end at CONNECT. PAP means that the
authentication is done during the PPP negotiation. All you have to do is to
add a line like this to your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file:
your-name provider-name your-password
and to /etc/ppp/peers/provider:
user your-name
remotename provider-name
The latter line can be omitted if this is your only ISP connection - in that
case, substitute 'provider-name' with an * (asterisk).
