I will defer to the people who've contributed so far if they think I'm 
full of it.

However with TurboLinux, recent versions of PPP and Tsukuba-dai's
ancient (analog modem, but we seem to be past the point where that's
relevant) dialup system I've had real problems (which I don't
understand, just solved by tinkering) with the difference between
"passive" and "silent" and too-low settings of the LCP timeout
variables.

Do PAP and CHAP happen before or after the LCP handshake?  I think
after.  So playing with those may help.
