(assuming you are using the Debian pon/poff scripts)
First of all, a couple of things should have changed. Your chatscript, and
options_out file will have moved. Look in /etc/chatscripts/ and /etc/ppp/
to see the changes. One thing that I had to change was to add 'noauth' to
my options_out (now /etc/ppp/peer/provider). /usr/doc/ppp/README.* will
explain this. IIRC, I may have had to fiddle with the file permissions of
the new files (and new directories) to get everything working (if you run
pon/poff as root this doesn't matter).
