Why does my PC try 'verifying my username+password' TWICE?

[vlc]

now here's my pasted-in copy of my dialup process.
as ive noticed it nowadays takes longer than usual to login, an always seems to do the final dial-up command line twice! - so do i need to delete a doubled-up command some place, an if so where?
