Provisio: I got ppp working by following the HOWTO. Diald worked
quite happily at this point.
Then I removed all trace of configuration, and re-configured my ppp
using RedHat's netconf tool, which seemed like a good idea at the
time.
But... diald reads options from /etc/ppp/options, which is not
written by netconf. So under the new arrangement pap didn't work.
:-( ppp worked fine if run manually.
The clue was running ps to capture the pppd arguments when
invoked manually, and by diald. The fix was then obvious: adding
"name" to the ppp-options line in /etc/diald.conf
