   My apologies.  It's not a UNIX shell account, rather the account you
dial into is designed in something called "M-script", a proprietary thing
the ISP has created.  It lets someone connect with a terminal programme if
they can't use their browser for some reason, and do non-graphical e-mail
and browsing.  One of the m-script commands is "ppp" and you have to type
this as the final thing in your log-on script.
