Yes, they are still using very sane, plain old PAP logins. If it makes a difference, the calls terminate on Ascend (Lucent) TNT's. Disclaimer - I worked for OzEmail directly once, have since moved up in the world. Linux is not supported since even your average call centre churn makes training costs prohibitive. I have also never used Linux to initiate a dialup to OzEmail, although that may happen soon enough.
