I don't think it's an authorisation request that you are sending. It's
a more basic request about setting up the connection, and as far as I
can see, it's normal for you to be sending such a request. The problem
is that you aren't getting a reply. Here's a bit from a log posted on
http://rsc.anu.edu.au/General/linux_ppp/ANU-PPP-HOWTO-5.html, trying to
show how things look when ppp is working successfully.
pppd[479]: Using interface ppp0
pppd[479]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
pppd[479]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <magic 0x8c5561c2> <pcomp> <accomp>]
pppd[479]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <auth pap> <magic
0x3a9e2b78> <pcomp> <accomp>]
pppd[479]: sent [LCP ConfAck id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <auth pap> <magic
0x3a9e2b78> <pcomp> <accomp>]
pppd[479]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <magic 0x8c5561c2> <pcomp> <accomp>]
pppd[479]: rcvd [LCP ConfAck id=0x1 <magic 0x8c5561c2> <pcomp> <accomp>]
As you see, it starts with a request similar to yours, but without the
<mru 1500> that I mentioned in my last message. I really do think it
would be a good idea to try suppressing that. The server at the other
end doesn't directly acknowledge the request, but instead sends a
request of its own, asking among other things whether the client machine
is willing to authenticate itself by PAP.
The client machine agrees, then sends its original request over again,
and this time the server acknowledges it. It's only after this, in a
bit that I haven't copied here, that the actual PAP negotiation takes
place.
The "noauth" option wasn't introduced until later versions of pppd.
Until then, "noauth" was the default, and you could change it with the
"auth" option. Since Michele has not put the "auth"
option into the script or the options file, you are getting "noauth" by
default.

Could you possibly post a few lines from your log, corresponding to the
ones above? I think it could be useful to see what a successful
connection to this service looks like. (Be sure not to
include your PAP password if it turns up in the log :-) ) Thanks.
