These are Appletalk and IPX. It's quite unlikely that you want these.

CHAP is part of pppd. AFAIK it should get used automatically if chap-secrets is set up properly. Does chat actually connect properly? You should see something like the following, even if CHAP doesn't work: Aug 7 18:15:35 psyche pppd[308]: pppd 2.2.0 started by carey, uid 1000 Aug 7 18:15:54 psyche pppd[308]: Serial connection established.
