"auth=pap" requests the remote side to authenticate itself with PAP,
which is not what you want; you want to respond to a PAP request from
their side.  You'll want to use "name=something" in your /etc/pphosts
entry, with a corresponding "something" token in /etc/pppauth, and drop
the "auth=pap" from ppphosts.
