My ISP upgraded recently as well. The end result was that my
Win/Mac boxes were smarter than the Linux machine and continued to

My solution was to switch to PAP (or CHAP) authentication. If it is
set up correctly, you should not see the login prompt from the
terminal server hosting your connection. My ISP helped diagnose this
as well.
