Ooops, sorry, forgot the parameter to pon!
I got the PAP request garbage and the connect script fails.
I ran pppconfig, properly, like a sane individual, and it seemed to work!
I guess I misunderstood the second parameter in pap-secrets... it was all
trying to connect with a separate set of credentials.
I'm not connected yet, but the problem is more with the provider now.
Thanks again.
