hi, i've never run SuSE or kinternet, but just taking a guess here,
the problem is likely that your ISP authenticates using PAP and not
CHAP. PAP does not use encryption to send the password, whereas CHAP
uses a hash to authenticate. If the server expects to see a plaintext
password, but receives some form of hash, it won't know what to do
and it will fail. is there any way for you to set your authentication
mode to PAP?
