Your ppp options wouldn't include "chap-interval 3" by any chance?
Snippet from my default ppp options:

---------------------------------8<---------------------------------
# If this option is given, pppd will rechallenge the peer every <n>
# seconds.
#chap-interval <n>
---------------------------------8<---------------------------------

Also, in addition to my previous comments re "noauth" here's what the
default options file has to say:

---------------------------------8<---------------------------------
# Require the peer to authenticate itself before allowing network
# packets to be sent or received.
# Please do not disable this setting. It is expected to be standard in
# future releases of pppd. Use the call option (see manpage) to disable
# authentication for specific peers.
auth
---------------------------------8<---------------------------------

The above snippets are from ppp-2.3.8, obviously YMMV with other versions.

HTH,
Neale.
