Well everything checked out - modem dialing, connecting but still no login so on a whim I 
asked the support guy to verify my password - turns out they transposed two letters when 
they set up the account. No wonder I couldn't login! Argh..... armed with my "new" password I 
was in-like-Flynn in under a minute.

The fact that the support guy was able to see my password in-the-clear seems like a pretty 
big security hole - I would have thought they would only store a hash of the password. Sure 
hope they don't have all their customers' passwords in some spreadsheet file. Hmmmmmm.

Regardless, now I'm up and running. Thanks to all for their help.
