Well... the ISP is using PAP. That, and the DNS IP - these are the only
pieces of information I could get from them.

I did, some time ago. But I got over this.

I even simplified the problem: I have the same account with the same

As you could see I use both debug and kdebug 7. That can generate a lot
of trash. But it's useful trash. Sadly, I don't own the knowledge to
understand it.
