The chap problem is stressed all over the place in
the [latest] documentation... you're asking your ISP to authenticate
themselves, they're agreeing and failing. Don't ``enable'' chap -
It's ``accept''ed by default which will work in your case. Just ``set
authname'' and ``set authkey''. Summary: remove ``enable chap''.
Also, it looks like your TA isn't doing the multilink stuff. I know
nothing about TAs, but the ones that notice the ppp negotiations on
the fly and do the multilink side of things transparently should not
be passing the MRRU option through. Yours is. This is probably some
sort of config option on the TA.
