yeah that means you can ping yourself :) do ping 10.0.0.138 to make sure
you can ping the modem. Also do a
tcpdump -n -i eth0
with a recent tcpdump
and
pppoe -A -I eth0
at the same time and see if you get any PAD response packets

yep it thinks you have the password wrong. Two things to try.
First no matter what the telstra guy wrote down the password is most
likely all lower case so give that a go. See if you have any more luch
with PAP authentication by adding refuse-chap to your options file. Make
sure your password entry is in pap-secrets and chap-secrets or do what I
do and make one a link to the other.
And you can use your old fasion net connection to test your
password with the following
telnet pop-server.bigpond.net.au 110
user writeme
password password
and see if it authenticates you. Failing all that call telstra
