What version of the ppp link layer are you using?
(navigate to *:system:TCPIP within Finder and use Open-Apple-I(nfo) on
the PPPx (scripted) link layer file.

Any version should support PAP. However only 1.3d4 and above will
support CHAP. These are available for separate download from Marinetti
home page.
In order to use CHAP, you will need Hash Tool installed, a freeware
Apple IIgs toolset by Geoff Weiss, which generates hash codes. It may
be downloaded at the following URL: http://hashtool.gwlink.net
If  Hash Tool is not installed then CHAP authentication is not
possible, and if the server that you are connecting to requires CHAP
then all attempts to authenticate will fail.

This is a much simpler connection option with lower overhead than PPP.
Have you tried this?

You have windows connectivity on the brain! No, the script is not
tailored specifically for that use.

Actually, I'd be lost without the RFCs when looking at the inside.

Hope this helps you get a bit further. Sorry I can't help with the
Linux side.
