Put the line
debug
into /etc/ppp/options.
Put the line
local2.*;daemon.* /var/log/ppplog
into /etc/syslog.conf
and then do
killall -1 syslogd

Then post the content of /var/log/ppplog after you try connecting again.
And perhaps read www.theory.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html
for debugging instruction.

The timestamps suggest that the peer is not responding to LCP requests.
That usually means that PPP wasn't started at the peer.

Perhaps you mistakenly configured kppp for a "terminal" connection?
If so then don't, and read Bill Unruh's page to see want must be done
to authenticate with PAP or CHAP.

I found a bunch of strange stuff in pap-secrets and chap-secrets. When I
emptied those, eazy-net connected as it was supposed to.

Road Runner doesn't seem to be a straight CHAP login. I found the problem.
It seems some how a bunch of garbage got written to pap-secrets and
chap-secrets. I removed it, reinstalled eazynet and can now connect to
RoadRunner dialup using my laptop modem.
