Any idea as to what the actuall incompatibility is? We've got a decent sized pool of customers running this setup, and to have to go back to my support department and tell them to learn a new dialer and switch anyone over using ConfigPPP is going to make for a VERY unhappy support dept.
If I remember correctly (and it's been a while since we had to do this), FreePPP looks and works the same to the user as ConfigPPP, so the hardest task ahead of you is getting folks to install the new software and reconfigure... Once that's done it should be business as usual. The chicken and egg situation ("please dial in so you can download the new software", "but I CAN'T dial in") is the worst part. Hopefully you've got a small hunt for those folks on older software/hardware... Thanks, Charles
As far as Win3.1, guess we're slow on the uptake, but we still activly support it. : )

Yes, it doesn't work. ConfigPPP is very old and needs to be upgraded to FreePPP. Try http://www.rockstar.com/ppp.shtml for more information.
On another note, it's funny that ISPs have decided to drop support for Win 3.1 but will try to continue to support Mac OS 7.1.

We're running into an odd problem switching customers from dialing into PM3's into TC1000's. All of our MacOS 7.1 customers using ConfigPPP are unable to connect. They all consistantly fail with 'PPP-LCP-Failed' as the reason. Mucking about with the LCP options in ConfigPPP only serves to fustrate us and the customers. Anyone else run across this?
