Sometimes you have to create a chat script to properly deal with the 
connection.  You need to find out if they are using chap/pap or noauth.

If you have the setup, what you can do is run tcpdump/ethereal on the 
same network and connect via a windows box.  You should be able to pick 
up the sequence.

Alternatively, simply dial into the server via minicom and step through 
the process to see what they are sending and expecting.

You do need to find out what the login info is, as you've noted, some 
isps required funky stuff.
