dial-up to Internode

Hi there.
Just wondering if anyone uses ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Kernal: 2.6.15-23-386) to 
connect to Internode (a big South Australian based ISP - meant to be 
very Unix friendly).
Reason I ask is if I'm missing something from my login details - 
something specific to Internode so they'll let me connect.
I tried wvdial like the ubuntu site suggests, but keep getting a "% 
Authorization failed" when sending the password - even though I've 
checked my password is correct a few times.
On the Internode site they suggest using a PPP Package (which is 
unavailable from their site) with a file pap-secrets that contains 
"username internode password" - why would they have the word "internode" 
in something that looks like a simple username/password login details file?
Anyway, hope I'm making a little sense - and hear from someone soon.
Thanks, Thorsten
