I hit a brief period of the same problem. I was heading out of
town, and _really_ wanted NW56 to work. Connecting to a Rahul
number I looked at the NW56 web page and discovered that there were
different POPs in the area. My "normal" one from a Saint Helena
access number is Oakland. By picking a number that was served by
San Francisco, I was able to log in. My PC has the password
"remembered", all I was changing was the access number.
Clearly, there are multiple authentication servers at MegaPOP
locations that sometimes don't authorize a particular user. The
St. Louis number worked, which I tested before I left home ;-)
