First there are LCP negotiations, which establish, among other things, the
type of authentication desired by the server. After LCP negotiations
complete, the client then sends any required (and supported)
authentication.
If the server requires MS-CHAP (common on NT systems), you'll need to
enable it, and you'll need to have MiamiSSL properly installed, and Miami
registered. I don't know whether you can turn oif

You can use the PPP log to see what's happening if needed, but before
doing that I suggest downloading MiamiDx and reading the section of the
guide on this exact topic. You don't need to install MiamiDx just to read
the guide, though you might decide you like it anyway. :-)
