There is a checkbutton somewhere in the NT dialing properties for
"enable PPP LCP extensions".  With Linux and ppp 2.3.10, we have to
disable that checkbox before we can connect to it with NT.

The only reason I think this might be relevant here is the rejected
"callback" LCP packets in the session log; callback is one of the LCP
extensions.  See:

...and search for "LCP".
