Good catch!  I've checked out the article, and will try it on an NT box when
I get a chance.

For all out there like me, in Win2k, this can be found in...

	Control Panel
  	-> Network & Dialup Connections
	   -> (Properties)
	      -> Networking tab
	         -> Settings button
		    -> LCP checkbox

Will let you know if this change works  :)  Thanks mucho!!!
