Do you get logins from Win95 computers who use the normal MS TCP/IP ?

I haven't tried it yet, but maybe this kind of client does not support
PAP authentication. (Sorry, when this is absolutly stupid, but I'm not
in the PPP thing.) Or maybe it could help to set the pap-timeout 0?
What do you think?

Where can I get more information about PAP?
