You need to RTF howto on the PoPToP webpage. Basically, windows clients
can sometimes prepend the domain or workgroup name to username they send
in a CHAP session - this is what you're seeing. Someone has worked around
the problem by hacking the source to chop off the \\ and everything before
it. I and others have got around it by adding it to  our
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets, i.e. have two lines to cover all eventualities:

gareth * <password> *
workgroup\\gareth * <password> *
