For ETH communication PAP is not required. The PAP is weakest security
password. The only advantage with PAP in dailup is that ISP need not to
give login access via telnet etc to his/her server. PAP is useful for
dial-up ppp connection. Instead shadow password is useful in eth
networking.

One can write script where PAP password can be given. I have been using
PAP via script dialing. Use linuxconf to configure script for PAP dialup
connection.

Better use linuxconf to configure
/etc/sysconfig/netwwork-scripts/ifup-ppp0 and chapscript files.
