Yes. /etc/ppp/options is wrong. (I wonder why pon did work).

"name xyz" is a privileged option. Only root may use it. non-root
users may set this option only using a configfile in the peers
directory (if they can do this at all, I'd have to look it up).

Please try the following changes:

The only option in /etc/ppp/options should be "auth".
Remove the "name" option from /etc/ppp/peers/xisp_ttyS3 (it shouldn't
be necessary there). You set the username and the remotename in the
"Account Information" dialog box.

The only reason I can think of for editing the xisp_* files is to add
the "debug" option.

Try this out and let me know if it worked.
