Dear Thomas.
I confess this problem has plagued me too.
Certain ISP's are really Linux friendly.
Access ATC is one of them.I just had the same problem.
A win box would connect to it but not ppp in Linux.
It went a bit like this ( pardon me it's been 2 months so i may have forgotten the
exact wording )
Id open the dialup configuration and set everything right.Id go to debug then the
fun began
" looks like a login prompt ...sending username
" looks like a password prompt
" sending password
" dont know what to do ! starting ppp and hoping for the best
" login failed ...... then it disconnected and tried again.
The only thing i did was to switch back to my old isp but then got fed up and
installed DSL which in my region is less costly than two telephone lines and ISP
Hopefully you're not in this case and one of distinguished colleagues will have
comforting news and will enlighten us with the good word on how to solve this
is possible.
best regards
