The client doesn't need Windows NT to use MP (Multilink Protocol). Windows
95 can do MP, but the Dial-Up Networking needs to be 1.2 or later in order
to support it. Windows 95's DUN has a nice advantage over NT's with MP.
In 95, you can pause/resume connections on one of the MP channels if you
need to use the other line for something else temporarily (phonecall or
something). In NT, you can drop one of the channels, but you cannot resume
it without disconnecting any other channels and dialing back up from
scratch.
