[pptp-server] MS Connect Confusion

[Matthew Ramsay]

Gday Conrad,

For win95 you need a dial-up-networking patch. For windows 98 you have to make
sure you installed it (via windows setup->communications etc).

PoPToP will work with these clients without any pppd MSCHAPv2/MPPE updates..
You only need to patch the software if you want stronger
authentication/encryption.

With a standard pppd you do *not* get any encryption.

Cheers,
Matt.
