I have to go with ccie2be and Brian on this having just tested the whole lot:

You don't need the name parameter unless using ppp callback or not using ppp chap hostname, etc (I didn't have auth configured in my case by the way and I agree - always check operation without auth and then add it later!)

I should have realised the core of all this which is you need L2-L3 mapping. Without the dial string on one end I did in fact get encapsulation errors, duh!!

I'm using IOS 12.2(13) and traffic will pass without having dialer-group configured on one end.

I think I have it clear now. Thx for the contributions.

Richard,

I have to respectfully disagree with you. Based on my understanding, the
name option of the dialer map command is only required in one situation;
ppp callback. If ppp callback isn't configured, all other isdn dial
scenario's should work fine, even though most examples show the name option
being used.

Even if you're using chap or pap authen, it will work without the name
option included in the dialer map command. Of course, you'll need to define
the name using other commands such as username --- password --- or ppp chap
hostname or something else.

Based on the info provided in the original question, I would also think that
authen wasn't the issue because Chris said the circuit came up. I suppose
it's possible that, in reality, the circuit didn't really come up but it
just seemed that way because Chris noticed the rtr dialing but didnt' notice
the other end rejecting the call.

And, I would suggest to Chris that before configuring any authen, he should
first make sure he can ping across the circuit so that he knows for sure
that authen isn't an issue.

HTH
