I found that with Mandrake6 or RedHat6 systems you need to
give an IP address in pap-secrets:
username * "" ip_address.
Until I did that I had the same errors you have.
(try upping the debug level in /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.conf
as well)
This worked for me on a single dialup line but I'm not sure
how a dialup pool would work here as the addresses are on
a per-user allocation rather than per-port.
