I know that microsoft uses it's own version of CHAP authentication (not
MD5).
PAP authentication should work fine unless the ISP disabled this in his
RAS
configuration (forcing only Microsoft CHAP). I known some versions of
pppd
in Linux do not negotiate a fallback attempt of microsoft CHAP to PAP 
properly. It may be possible that FreeBSD has the same problem. 
Someone I am sure can elborate.

3.51 has the same CHAP authentication as 4.0.
