</snip> Thanks for all the advice on and off the list ! Finally I got it working; but I have no good clue what went wrong when and how (after some 30 to 40 efforts, changes, reboots I had lost track, sorry). Then 'debug' came and helped me to identify the correct protocol (no 'bad magic'), and from there onwards at one moment it started to work, finally. The trouble of asking an ISP of the local quality is that they barely manage to set it up on Windoze and don't have the slightest clue about things like authentication. And I can confirm it works for Streamyx in Malaysia ! Thanks again, Uwe
