pppd supports chap, doesn't it? From the man page.
+chap Require the peer to authenticate itself using CHAP
[Cryptographic Handshake Authentication Protocol]
authentication.
-chap Don't agree to authenticate using CHAP.
chap-max-challenge <n>
Set the maximum number of CHAP challenge transmis-
sions to <n> (default 10).
chap-interval <n>
If this option is given, pppd will rechallenge the
peer every <n> seconds.
AUTHENTICATION
pppd provides system administrators with sufficient access
control that PPP access to a server machine can be pro-
vided to legitimate users without fear of compromising the
security of the server or the network it's on. In part
this is provided by the /etc/ppp/options file, where the
administrator can place options to require authentication
whenever pppd is run, and in part by the PAP and CHAP
secrets files, where the administrator can restrict the
set of IP addresses which individual users may use.
...+ alot more.
I don't use it myself so I can't help there.
