Thanks Jake...however, this quote seems to conflict with Bernie's
following post.

Thanks Bernie...
I'm doing my homework right now....<g g g>...wading through tons of
downloads, and will go looking for the docs on this EPPPD 0.5/0.6/and
higher. Found the RFC for MSCHAP, and apparently they DID bugger the
specs, in usual Mz fashion...but...there is no reason why our DOS
clients can't authenticate with it just like they do with the normal,
standard PAP/CHAP....
I hate to stir the list up, this way, but I thought some of you would
have some insight <g> into this, and sure enough, you did....<g g g>
I'll let you know how it comes out......the thought occurred to me
that this MIGHT be one of the causes of the reoccuring "can't
connect" problems we face occasionally, without ever recognizing
it. If I get a fix on it, we can file it as a possible fix for
some of those...
