Most likely (and assuming that the password you're using is correct), the problem is in your /etc/pap-secrets file. Depending on the actual version of pppd you're using, it should contain an entry like * mammoth "" * or perhaps * mammoth "" If you want to make the entry specific to your client, replace the first * with the client's account name.
