I know that if we have CHAP enabled in our Ascend Maxes, Windows 95/98/NT
(and 2000, I'd imagine) users will automatically authenticate using CHAP,
even if it's not set to "require...". If the dial-up client software
doesn't support CHAP (few don't support it), it'll drop back to PAP
authentication on its own.
I have no idea how this stuff works with RRAS though.
