Bigpond Non-standard Dialup Authentication

[Glen Cunningham]

Hi CLUGers,
    Have searched the list-archives and "Googled" for hours, 'cause I was 
sure that I saw the answer on this list recently, so, can someone refresh 
my failing memory please.
    What is the "trick"/script-mod to get Linux dialup connections to 
correctly authenticate with bogpong?  I seem to recall that it was a simple 
as adding/removing an asterisk in a secrets file?
Ta,
Glen
