I got it from what is currerntly hamm.  Look at the chatscript in .ppprc
if you do not specify pap/  Also, I had to physically remove my
pap-secrets skeleton file and edit the .ppprc to include the noauth
option to prevent it from attempting pap negotiation.

I could not get it so stop trying to use pap without taking the measures
thatr I state above. I am working on a different program but DO appreciate
the program for its dialog examples.

Mine is going to use the following files:

/etc/ppp/providers
/etc/ppp/options.<provider>
/etc/ppp/chatscript.<provider>

You might not have seen the password because the line of the display was
truncated.  Try a ps -awx while it is dialing without PAP and you will see
the entire chat command line (including the password) displayed.
