Does anyone know what options one needs to configure in either pppd or
Win95 dial-up networking to get the two to talk?  I'm trying to dial in
from Win95 into a BSD ISP, but haven't met with any luck.  Win95 claims
the two systems could not negotiate a protcol.  The ppp log on Win95
shows Win95 rejecting every magic number that is offered.  I've tried
it with both a fixed address and with the client expecting an address
from the BSD server, but neither one works.  The Win95 stuff can
connect to other ISP's, so I think most/all of the SW should be
correctly loaded on the Win95 system.

Any suggestions?
