Has the line stayed up the whole time? I'm guessing two things. 1. The
line has stayed up the whole time and is therefore already authenticated.
2. There is somehow an alternate route. Do a traceroute just to make sure
it is going over the ISDN line. I'm not sure about either of those though.
You should add the username and password back in to the hub router. It does
not need to be on the remote router since authentication is only one-way.

Anyone else?
