following setup:
A remote linux PC with a wavecom gprs modem tries to connect to the orange romania gprs network via pppd and chat
We use this setup with different providers for a few hundred devices and had never issues in needing to reconfigure pppd options to be able to connect to the GPRS Provider.
I have access to that device via VPN so i can change config options on the fly (at least for now)
The chatscript itselfs seems to connect correctly .

http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-diagnosis.phtml#debug and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/options.html for some examples i did find on the subject and what i tried to change.
changing or removing the command line options MRU/MTU did not solve the issue, but only changed the response i got for the LCP ConfReq
/usr/sbin/pppd dump mru 1500 logfd 2 nodetach ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/pppscript"
what i do find strange is the "conf_rej" auth pap part. if someone could point me to a direction where to look or what option i did need to fix i would be thankfully.
EDIT: In response to Michael Hampton comment i let the details of the sim contract be checked by my client:
It is a Prepaid card, but there is still enough Cash loaded on it , the contract has an unlimited GPRS traffic enabled, the simcard is activated (i just verified this with the client). The SimCard is working on an USB-UMTS Modem sticked to a laptop so in my opinion this rules out any issue with the Simcard and/or the provider connection itself.
