pppoe config in debian linux not working

Hi,
I've googled high and low and have not been able to resolve this issue. I appreciate connecting in this manner is not supported but just wonder if anyone else on here has managed it.
I have a debian machine that I intend to use as my internet router, have used it previously when I had virgin broadband. I installed pppoeconf and have been dogged by chap authentication failures. Log is shown below:
FYI on the configuration of the physical eth1 interface and in the dsl-providers file I've played with various MTUs as a result of my google search and none have worked.
Note: I've put stars in the username and passwords to save spreading them all over the place on the forums. I can totally verify that the credentials are correct, I've checked them so many times for exact characters and case.
Eth1 is plugged directly into the modem.... I can also verify that when I use the supplied plusnet router the connection works fine.
My current pppd config is (/etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider)
The secrets file (/etc/ppp/chap-secrets)
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Because Plusnet is on BTw 's network, it normally needs to be PPPoA on ADSL. I have heard of people managing to use PPPoE but I can't recall how they set it up atm. It's not as efficient because the arrangement uses more overheads IIRC. There's a couple of other posters whose knowledge in this area is far better and will hopefully pick this up.
