1) Are you root? Trying out as user root will eliminate any permissions
problem and thus help isolating the problem.
2) As for being disconnected immiadtly after logon, once again aren't the log
files have hints?
3) What is the problem with avoiding the PAP secret warning with chaning the
pap-secrets file to PAP secret warning with chaning the pap-secrets file to *
* password ? Perhaps there need to be 2 lines in the pap-secret file:
bash-2.04# grep -A10 OUTBOUND /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
# OUTBOUND connections
# Here you should add your userid password to connect to your providers via
# PAP. The * means that the password is to be used for ANY host you connect
# to. Thus you do not have to worry about the foreign machine name. Just
# replace password with your password.
# If you have different providers with different passwords then you better
# remove the following line.
this_machine_name * password
user_name_at_ISP * password_at_ISP
bash-2.04#
