The messages on the terminal servers were changed Monday afternoon.
Thanks for commenting.
Re direct connections....
The problem is not in your set.  Our terminal servers get confused
sometimes on direct connections.  They drop into the terminal window
when you request a PAP(direct) connection.  What you should notice
is that direct connections fail about 30% of the time on average.
 
BTW in addition to PAP, you can now use CHAP for authentication of
direct connections.  This is primarily of interest to Windows95
clients because Windows95 tries chap first, then PAP when chap fails.
 
Your reward for commenting on the terminal server messages is you
get to learn about a nifty web site.
Check out   www.pathfinder.com
If you already know about that site try www.switchboard.com.
If you already know about both sites you should be suggesting
them to me!   :-)
 
We are as frustrated by the unreliable "direct" connections as
you are and will continue to try to reduce problems.
