[pptp-server] Can't negotiate LCP with win98 client

[Dawson Brian]

Hello all, I hope somebody can give me an answer to this question.

I have a just installed vpn services on a SuSE 6.2 distro and can't seem
to get through LCP negotiations with pppd and a win98 client. Each time
I send a LCP ConfReq, I get an instant hangup signal.

Any Ideas what this is?

Thanks for any  help,

Brian
