It means that the ISP wants to use PAP or CHAP authentication.

Run pppconfig, select 'PAP' authentication, and connect with 'pon' and
disconnect with 'poff'.
Most ISP's use PAP. A few use CHAP: try that next if PAP doesn't work. A
very few use scripted logins, which is what you are trying to use and which
your ISP does not use.
If you've made any changes to /etc/ppp/options undo them.
If this doesn't work ask for help again.
