man pppd says:
remotename name
Set the assumed name of the remote system for
authentication purposes to name.
So: a the pap-secrets line should look like:
wakko myisp secretpassword
username on remote system = wakko
password for remote system = secretpassword
remote-id of remote system (arbitrary) = myisp
and you have to add "remotename myisp" to your pppd line.
