You need to ``dial'' one of your config entries, or you can even
specify it on the command line... It looks like you want
$ ppp papchap ISP
so that you load both profiles, then
ppp ON machine> dial
to make the connection. If you use ``dial something'', that's the
equivalent of ``load something'' then ``dial'' (or ``open'').
Remember, logging is your friend. To get a feel for things, try
$ ppp
ppp ON machine> set log local phase command lcp ipcp tun
ppp ON machine> load papchap
blah blah blah
ppp ON machine> load ISP
blah blah blah
ppp ON machine> open
blah blah blah
