Try adding 'set openmode active' to your ppp.conf; this will tell your
system to begin the PPP conversation without waiting for the other end.
The default in command-line PPP is to wait for the system you are
calling to start the 'LCP negotiation' phase.

It shouldn't, many others have managed to connect via PPP to NT
servers. Microsoft does have a few weird ideas about how PPP should
work, but for the most part it is a reasonable PPP implementation. If
your ISP uses CHAP authentication and the special Microsoft encryption
algorithm you may have problems.
