Well, I can add a little that I've found in two books on PPP.
One shows a picture of the Windows My Connection, Server Types, screen
with a on-the-side description "Proprietary log on to Microsoft or
Novell networks." It is not described further or even mentioned in
the accompanying text.
The other book speaks briefly of a Novell security protocol in the
Authentication Protocols section:
C225: draft-ietf-pppext-public-key-00.txt, a protocol developed by
Novell but apparently now abandoned.
Are they related? I don't know, but "proprietary protocol" is not a good
sign in and of itself.
