Yes it was a sleep issue (and not the sleep(2) kind haha). *facepalm* Apparently the POP uses a 2 stage authentication process. First, you use unix/slip style authentication after which the POP then initiates CHAP. I had specified the inccorect password for CHAP but after the initial autentication the POP still assigned me an IP; albeit one that didn't talk to anything but the next hop and its nameserver. it's all good now!
