I've been told by a few people that it's possible. You can sure that either PAP or CHAP is necessary, although I don't recall which. Experiment with that part. The part that stumped people was that you had to add something like "msn/" to your login name. It would end up looking like msn/[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not sure if 'msn' has to be capitalized, for instance, or if the slash is reversed, etc, etc. Again, experimentation may be needed. Hall
