How does the routing table on the client look like? Basically, from
the client's point of view, it's sitting on a two-node network with
the PPP server, and there's no one else on this networksegment. That's
why it doesn't see anything (the NT PDC is out of its broadcast
domain). Maybe if you dialup to NT's RAS it fixes the client routing
table so that it views the whole subnet as locally connected through
ppp0 as if it was a NIC, and then all the servers on the subnet of the
RAS server respond to its broadcasts. (In other words, the difference
between looking at ppp0 as a PTP connection and looking at it as a NIC.)
Just a shot in the dark actually, I may be all wrong.

mutt is a text-based client; this is a huge advantage for me, as I tend
to type emails, not click them
