Probably because your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file isn't configured properly.

Your /etc/ppp/pap-secret file isn't configured properly.

>/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config:
>/AutoPPP/ -     a_ppp   /usr/sbin/pppd auth +pap -chap modem crtscts lock

I'd either:

-add the "login" option to that there list of options, then configure the
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets file to authenticate from the /etc/passwd file (man
pppd will tell you how to do that).  Some versions of pppd allow you to
just delete the pap-secrets file, others make you put in a wildcard entry.

or

-add each user to the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file.

Once you've done this, you'll be closer to working, anyway.
