ppp PAP question



I have 2 machines (well, 1 machine 1 isp).  I'd like to use PAP between
them.  in pap-secrets I have:

wakko	lwts	.......
wakko	bristol	.......

"lwts" is my computer at work
"bristol" is the name I received from my ISP.

Doesn't matter how I invoke pppd, the results are the same.  It will always
use the first line (I'm using the default pap-secrets file.  the only mods
were removing the entry at the end and replacing it with the 2 above).

The line I used to invoke pppd:
pppd connect 'chat "" atdt####### CONNECT' user wakko /dev/modem 115200

I see no other way to get pppd to send the correct user name.  Obviously,
I'm not going to use my machine name and I'm not going to have my machine
name as my ISP login name.  It seems that it can't get the remote host name
or something...  I don't fully (or half way) understand PAP.

Any ideas?
