Unfortunately, that's a common problem, since Windows and
MacOS both apparently automatically detect the
authentication type and act appropriately.  I hope that
Linux will someday do the same.  Most ISPs do not put
information about their authentication on their web sites,
but if you call them and ask them, they should tell you.

If they won't, I would suggest trying PAP first, and if that
doesn't work but everything else is set right on your
system, try CHAP.

Good luck,

Jonathan
