What this gentleman said works. We've been using it here for quite a while
with Linux users and it supports either send/expect (text login), or
auto-senses PAP perfectly. Of course you'll also need the Ethernet > Answer

One word of note, with most Linux PPPD daemons, they won't pickup your DNS
servers if you dynamically allocate them - so they'll need to configure
those in most cases.
