The exact sequence of menus to get the desired information is:
	Preferences/Network/Menu/Options/View Log

Thre is a menu item in the script called "Prompt".  I'm not sure how to get the
challenge to appear in the prompt (nor am I completely sure it can).  If
pressing down the scroll down button doesn't make the challenge appear, you
might have problems.

As a worst case effort, you might have to use a terminal emulator to dial in to
the service, then after answering the challenge/response authentication, start
up a connection whose phone number is 00.  The string "00"
 is a magic phone
number saying, don't dial, you're directly connected.  Of course, you have to
do this fast enough...
