But the remote ask for PAP first, so why not give it what it wants?
(/etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets have the same format,
they can even be hard links to the same file.)

Put "nodeflate" in your options file. No commercial terminal server
seems to support it, and on NetBSD-NetBSD, it's broken anyway.

I think the remote just timed out on you here. I think you may have a
better chance of getting it to work if you set up a "pap-secrets"
file, and put "nodeflate" and "nobsdcomp" in your options. The last
will also speed things up, since the remote is going to ultimately
reject BSD compression anyway (though it's not broken).
