It's not a messed up chat file, just an incorrect one. I tried to mention
this in the README for the kits, but YOU have to know what your ISP

No, you just need to change your chat script to work with PAP.

Rip out everything after the line with CONNECT, and then set up your
pap secrets file (as described in man pppd).

No, you just haven't written it yet. :-)
