stop/start ppp

made ppp user and set password to ppp
edit ppp's .profile to include:
 exec /usr/sbin/pppattachd server authenticate chap 2>/dev/null

ensure that a getty is running on the desired tty

invoke ppp on the client side w/ the following:
/usr/sbin/pppattachd client tty0 peer chap connect \\
   "/usr/sbin/pppdial -v -f CHAT_SCRIPT_FILE"

made the connection and we were able to ping and telnet across
