I just set up PAP for my wife's ISP. It may be very similar. I figured
it out from the pppd man page.

Given:

login id = mylogin
login password = mypsw
isp name = myisp

I put on the pppd command line:

user mylogin remotename myisp

and in pap-secrets, one line:

mylogin myisp mypsw

NOTE: this is all from memory, so please check the man page. I may have
the secrets values out of order. Hopefully, the chap setup is very
similar to the PAP setup.
