No. It's an options-file option. Just say user <username>.

+ua is one method for PAP. It does not support /etc/ppp/pap-secrets.
user is another, and it uses /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. user says what user
name to feed the other side for use with the pap-secrets file.

Off-hand, I'd say your chat script needs work. Ask your ISP what the
thing's supposed to look like. As the other side seems to be EXACTLY
repeating what you send, it looks like you've got a command prompt.

WAG: try adding "ppp" to the end of the chat script. Thus you'll tell
them you want to use ppp.

Take care,
