Warning: I'm not an expert on this issue. Also, I'm running
slink, and there have been changes to the whole ppp situation
(file locations and names, etc.) since hamm (I think, it seems to
have been a long time since hamm).
From the log it looks as if the second number wants a pap
connection, while the old number doesn't ask for it.

^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^
In the second log, it seems to fail because of a lack of a proper
login name and password for the PAP connection.

Have you setup the pap-secrets file with a line like this at the
bottom of the file in the 'OUTBOUND CONNECTIONS' section? It
looks like this:
login_user_name * my_password
First, start with a fresh set of config files (force a reinstall
of ppp and then pppconfig), and then use minicom to verify exactly
what your ISP wants to see. This may have remained the same, but
verify it anyway. When the ISP starts sending what looks like
garbage in the minicom terminal, thats the PAP request you are
seeing. Verify your name and password are the same for the
pap-secrets file as well as the chatscript file. Also make sure
'noauth' is in your provider file (a parameter send to pppd).
'auth' would cause your machine to interrogate your ISP's machine
for a PAP connection, which won't work, of course, as the
situation is the other way around.
Hope it helps.
