I was able to successfully test a PPP connection with my laptop using the
following pap-secrets file :-

rmill * Password-at-ISP
tosh Millstream "Laptop's-PAP-password"

and with the following in mgetty's login.conf :-
 
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/bin/pppd 115200 crtscts auth -chap +pap :192.168.0.2 remotename tosh -d

and with a null options file, and no entry for 'tosh' in my password
files.

The laptop was set up for PAP authentication.

If that helps at all.
