[pptp-server] MS Connect Confusion

[Chuck Flink]

Only dead software does not need updating.  Neither
Win95 nor Win98 "right out of the box" will work
reliably and securely with PPTP.  In fact, PPTP was
not a "standard feature"  before Windows 98 SE
(Second Edition) last Summer.  If you update to
98SE you'll have a happier exerience with many
things.  Suggest you read:
