It's very difficult to read mail like this. Please, use capitalization where
appropriate, and put in line breaks at about 75 characters.
Sounds pretty normal to me. Instead of a login prompt, your ISP is using
PAP or CHAP and is directly starting PPP. Enable PAP or CHAP in you ppp.conf
and see what happens.

even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about
funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our
salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went
to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You
haven't got through college yet.'" --Apple Computer Inc. founder,
