As far as I know, Windows uses PAP. : On the other hand, you can always write a chat script for Win95. I assume : the others have similar capabilities. You could also go the other extreme and have totally seemless connectivity for the win95 clients... the user level ppp code needs a few hacks to negotiate netbios and DNS nameservers but they aren't too difficult. We also rewrote ours to use the passwd file for authentication with PAP rather than the ppp.secrets file. Another neat thing is setting up a samba server, so that your win95 clients can just open up dialup networking, open up some "setup" site you have, and grab all the basic internet client software and/or documentation. To see in action its quite neat, just get one PC + win95 + add phone number then dialup, open network neighbourhood -> setup site, and "copy" down whatever is required (ie a web browser) One stop shop!
