lot of complaints. They did send me a *-gram for staying online
too much (like, always). Unlimited access isn't really so unlimited,
it seems.
Anyway, maybe it's different depending on your POP, but I had no
problem at all. I don't have my config handy, but as I recall I
just have my login and password in pap-secrets and a simple chat
script that only dials and connects.
I don't need a chat script that logs in with my login and password,
Concentric checks for a ppp connection as soon as you connect (at
least on my POP). If it gets a ppp connection it uses PAP to do the
authentication.

seen it the other way around. If Concentric starts mucking around with
my account I'm gone.
Does anyone keep a list of Linux-friendly ISPs?
