Check to make sure your ppp configuration files are the same. If so,
pon probably starts ppp differently from the way diald does it, and
you'll need to track down the differences.
My guess is that you installed a newer version of pppd and that your
/etc/ppp/options file is now different. Specifically, the "auth" option
is now set. If you read the man page, you'll see that you probably
shouldn't mess with this file to fix the problem. (See "man diald" for
more details, and search for "pppd-options".) Instead, append
"-- noauth" to the end of the command you use to start diald.
