microcom works fine here.  I've just tried dialing some
ISPs (where I am not a member) and found one that still
uses an old-fashioned login (rather than PAP/CHAP).  It
asked for username (I typed in bill) and then password
(I entered some random letters) and then it replied
(after I pressed ENTER):  LOGIN INCORRECT.  It let me
try twice more and then disconnected (NO CARRIER)

There was no problem with the entry of the password
-- it waited peacefully while I entered the characters.

Same password?  Same system?  Something wrong at your
end (not a microcom problem).
