This guy has most ISPs nicely summed up nicely, and a document to save bacon. Afraid it is biased to RedHat/Mandrake, and doesn't do that Kppp stuff - pppd is your friend ;) The useful bit is to switch on pppd debugging (note the syslog.conf changes), and note the authentication protocol being requested - m$chap maybe? - then you'll need an /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file. Or you could ask your ISP what they changed - hahahahahahaha bonk. "The key problem in hooking up a PPP link to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) is that the ISP's seem to compete with each other as to who can find another obscure way of authenticating users. Thus we have login, PAP, CHAP 05, CHAP80, CHAP80-lanman, CHAP81, ... and combinations of these. The chief difficulty of connecting to an ISP is discovering which technique is actually being used by the ISP in an orderly way. Since few of them know anything about Linux, and since few of them even understand what technique they actually use, this procedure should allow you to set up without their help, or to understand what their help means if it is given.
