Hm, to be honest, I'm totally clueless about the way Debian handles ppp (I
used to use Slackware), but I'll try to help anyway. (Just don't take
anything I say here for granted).
The way I did in Slackware is, there was /etc/ppp. There were what are
called 'chat' scripts (ie. scripts for the 'chat' program). This program
handled the authentication process. Now i'm totally unaware if Debian uses
this one too, but if it does, try to find these scripts (wild guess:
/etc/ppp :D) Now, make different ones for different ISP's, and then refer
to them in the ppp-on (or pon) scripts.
There, I hope that helps. Maybe 'man chat' will help too, especially for
configuring PAP/CHAP differences.
