That doesn't sound familiar. Our device came with a PIN which could be
locked (and required this PIN every time you used the device), so I simply
unlocked it permantely. Perhaps your set up is different, (though I wouldn't
see why..).

Hmm again a weird point of difference. I had no auth details on me, but
supplying total crap as the username & password worked fine.

If you are saying that you only entered a dummy user/pass then how did

It still auth'ed via PPP, it just didn't care WHAT I put in the user/pass
fields.
