^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You are requiring your ISP to authenticate itself to you (probably not
what you want). Read the docs for PPP, last I knew in a file something
like /etc/ppp/peers/provider-or-whatever-name-you-gave-it you set
options such as username. In this file you need to set "noauth",
otherwise you are asking the ISP to authenticate themselves to you.
Again, read through the documentation regarding authentication to get
better info.
