[pptp-server] w98 status - "bytes received" seams low

I am guessing this is Win98 not showing the proper statistics: the 'bytes
received' is very low, 300 for a while, now up to 1700 after copying 400meg
of data.  the 'bytes sent' is at 4,200,000.  the little lights on the
network icon in the tray seams to only blink for 'received' (the lower right
computer) - all this gui stuff is lame - where is the log file?? ;)

Or it might be that the vpn caries the read request to the server, and the
local LAN caries the data back.

config:

Linux 192.168.1.1 - set up following:
http://www.vibrationresearch.com/pptpd/example.html and samba

win98 192.168.1.22 on the same network.  used vpn to connect to Linux, and
used a samba share to grab 400 meg of data to test performance and
disconnects.
