I've tried off and on to get the older PPP for linux to work with Pap as
documented, and never had any luck, unless I force it to read the
pap-secrets file. Every time I tried without +ua, the debug output
indicated that the pppd wasn't even looking in the secrets file for a
username and password. When I tried CHAP, debug showed the portmaster
rejecting the request for CHAP.
