Well, that's just PPP to a cellular modem, PPP link is only between the 
device and the cellular modem to de/serialize IP packets on a serial 
link. That's why authentication is never required, cellular modems 
usually add some kind of fake authentication to support PPP clients 
where authentication can't be disabled.

"CHAP Challenge" is from "CHAP" from chap_protent and "Challenge" from 
chap_code_names[].

Debugging seem pretty well enabled, for once in a while I have no clue 
what is wrong here, usually it's straightforward from the trace but here 
it really isn't.
