	Well the problem is an M$ problem, non-windows dial-in will be
okay with Either because they can be set to PAP first, but Microsoft has
MS-CHAP (a CHAP version) that will be used before the configured
authentication protocol. AFAIK there is no way to disable MS-CHAP auth in
windows products, we ran into the same problem with having Cisco ISDN
CHAP customers and our regular user base (mostly windows).

	Get Linux :)
