I found when setting up an internet account with ozemail, they had configured
their terminal servers not to accept chap, only PAP.

Setting up PAP is quite easy. Try these 3 files.

/etc/ppp/peers/ozemail:-

connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat-ozemail"
defaultroute
noauth
/dev/ttyS0
57600
asyncmap 0
modem
passive
noipdefault
debug
+pap
user yourusername

/etc/ppp/chat-ozemail:-

ABORT BUSY
ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
''
AT&F OK
ATDT0,33344411 CONNECT

/etc/ppp/pap-secrets:-

yourusername        *       yourpassword     *
""                           *      ""                         *

The last line of the pap-secrets file is very important.

I have used these scripts with ozemail and they seem to work fine.
to dial you just use
    pppd call ozemail

Have Fun.
