[pptp-server] Issues with Win ME

[Bill Beauchemin]

I installed the poptop server on a server running MDK 7.1 and had no issues. 
I have a win98 laptop that connects without any issues. I had to configure a 
users winME box to connect but for some reason it just wont connect I keep 
getting the error that the server type is wrong. Ive tried everything I know 
but it still wont work. I can see in the pptpd.log file where it tries to 
connect but it seems that winME wont answer when asked about the config. The 
pptpd tries nine times but ME wont answer the request so it just terminates 
the connection. Here is a sample of the log file. Is thewre issues with WinME 
and Poptop?
