- Now a moot point, but interesting none the less,
-
- Can you find out what version of NT and which service packs are applied?
- I was completely unsuccessful with PAP on 3.5 with SP1,2 using RAS.
- I decoded the PPP authentication down to the byte (std disclaimers here :) ),
- and it appeared to me that NT RAS would immediately disconnect if CHAP w/DES
- (NT offered it as default) was denied. In 1.40, Holger may be doing
- something like not rejecting the auth. protocol, or maybe he -explicitly-
- rejects it. I don't know. No machine available to verify the problem under
- 3.51.

- PS Unix Review reported the same problems with Unix -> NT RAS support
- in this month's issue.
