I have a very similar problem. I can connect to some machines of my ISP but
not to all of them. With those that fail, both kppp and pon dial and
negotiate with the ISP server but when my machine sends my password the ISP
server does not authenticate myself. It just does not acknowledge, and pppd
waits and waits. If kppp is running it is killed after 1 minute with signal
15. This happens using PAP and CHAP.
Now, I do not think this is kppp problem, since I have a second free ISP
with which I can connect, and some non-local machines of my main ISP DO work
with both kppp and pon. I would say that the ISP servers have had some kind
of update which makes impossible to fullfill the negotiation with a linux
machine. IMHO this may be an issue for pppd.
I have a friend in Telefonica (the main spanish phone company) and he says
they use 2 kind of machines for servers: 3COM and Lucent. He suspects this
comes from 3COM machines. He has also told me they have found some kind of
incompatibilty between CHAP for Windows and Linux. A Linux server with CHAP
does not understand CHAP from new Windows machines.
