This may be impractical, but if I were you, I would switch ISPs as quickly as possible. They talk to your hardware directly, and if they still can't figure out who you are, they're probably incompetent.

Are you on dial-up or DSL/cable?
Asking for a name/pword for dialup is fairly standard last I used one. (it's been a while, thankfully) But no, I have no idea how to use dial up in conjunction with *nix. And if you're on DSL/Cable and they still need a name/pword every time you connect- yeah, get a new ISP.
Actually, if you're on dial-up, get a new ISP- specifically, one with broadband. Dial-up sucks.  |
