They're probably using PAP, so you'll need to look up the FAQ for
how to set it up.

It's pretty simple, usually just a matter of telling pppd that
PAP is required, and telling it where to get the user name and
password (usually a text file, username the first line, password
the second).

Barring that, find a *real* service provider.  NT 4.0 Beta should
be considered a toy, not a business proposition.

at least they are easy to configure for...)
