First of all, need check if you entered proper
login and password. Maybe you entered login for
e-mail access and it is different from the login
for PPP access, which need to be used. This error
is IMO most likely and it is system-independent.
Also, incorrect typing of password, upper/lower-
case difference in password or login name, etc.
(but I suppose you double-checked it)
Next, there is a little chance of CR-LF problem:
when you hit Enter, minicom sends CR, or LF, or
both, and the ISP requires something different.
I don't know a case that such a problem occurs.
Or maybe your login was disabled? or not ready yet?
