win98 includes pptp also...
with appropriate software (i think MSDUN v1.3)
it depends on your ppp daemon... dont use chap even it is encrypted by
default because it can easily decrypted it... youve got another security
implication here...
actually to be perfectly precise, what is preferred is MSCHAPv2. this is the default in the PPTP VPN configuration so it provides the least disruption/tech support issues to the end-user.
and fooler is right, radius can do it. HOWEVER, if you store passwords in radius encrypted (e.g. with MD5 or crypt) YOU CANNOT USE MSCHAPv2.
in my case before, we had an existing radius configuration which stored passwords encrypted, hence we could not use MSCHAPv2. however if you're starting from scratch, it's not a big problem. i should have made this clear.
