On some PoPs you can authenticate with just a username or MS number, on 
others you must authenticate using your user and domain. ELN is just 
another way of passing the Earthlink domain to RADIUS. Functionally, 
there should be no difference between ELN/example or 
example at earthlink.net. Also, any mailbox you have through Earthlink 
should work for authentication be it @earthlink.net or @mindspring.net.

The configuration of the NAS device you are dialing into is what 
determines what the default domain for plain usernames is. For 
Earthlink owned PoPs this should be @earthlink.net, but on some third 
party PoPs it will not necessitating the domain (ELN, @earthlink, etc.) 
portion.

This goes for any service that authenticates via RADIUS. This excepts, 
of course, cable.

Full domain is the most sure way to authenticate from anywhere.
