My ISP is asahi-net.

Here is what my /etc/ppp/pap-secrets contain:

# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client        server       secret    IP addresses
hj4v-pvln       asahi-net    passwd
hj4v-pvln       ppp0         passwd

where hj4v-pvln is my user name, asahi-net - server name, ppp0 -
interface, and passwd - my password.

Maybe you have to add the second string for the interface. I remember
it didn't work without it. Or a wildcard in the place of server name
(as Stephen wrote) has the same effect?

/etc/ppp/options is empty on my machine.

Good luck.
