hi
im using zenwalk 1.3 and wvdial to connect to internet
so, on windows my username and password works well.
on linux they're not working i get this:

always, i tried retyping my username and password in wvdial.conf but i wasnt mispelling it...

can someone help me to find whats the problem?

I wonder if your ISP uses CHAP and or PAP authorisation. Have you anything in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and/or /etc/ppp/pap-secrets ?

I must be honest, I don't know how you fill either of these files when using wvdial (apart from using a text editor), but I think that kppp does it for you (if you have KDE).
