CONNECTION PIPE Relates to the part of your ADSL login after the @ symbol as specified on your Account Card e.g. lon1-aj1e.demonadsl.co.uk
PROTOCOL TYPE OR ENCAPSULATION METHOD PPPoA (also known as RFC2364 in some equipment)
AUTHENTICATION TYPE CHAP

FRAMING OR MULTIPLEXING METHOD VC/MUX

Just had a quick look for the specs:
• Easy installation
- Easy to use installation wizard.
- Software upgradable
- Supports PPPoA,PPPoE and LAN functionality
So PPPoA and PPPoE.
It has been sometime since I used DSL on a Linux machine but I did used to use PPPoE. From my rather hazy memory this worked in conjunction with pppd. In pppd you can specify authentication type. PAP is generally more common, from the above it appears your ISP uses CHAP. Make sure your connect script has the correct type selected since they are not compatible with each other.
Pretty much all I can think of for now. What do your log files say is going on?
