Ran into this quoting change problem too.  It affects authname, authkey, and
phone
strings as well.  Phone numbers with '*' sequences failed for me, as well my
authname and authkey settings (which contained non-alphanumerics).  Encasing
these strings in "" worked for me.  

Since your ISP is asking for PAP, I would do the following:

  set login
  set authname "yourLoginName"
  set authkey "yourPassword"

If the empty 'set login' fails to work for you, try

  set login "ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 ogin:--ogin: \\U word: \\P"

Maybe somebody can make this new qouting behavior more clear in an example
in the sample ppp.conf installed in /etc?  Just so other new users of 4.0
won't get
bitten by the same thing.
