Thanks to all who responded.  I still have one question: when they say 
"RAS" as a Microsoft proprietary protocol, are they talking about the
MS-CHAP extensions to PPP?  Doesn't the latest version of userland PPP
support this?  Should we mark this as MSP/Std?

And what about the VPN stuff?  Don't we do some of this, with ports?

Here's what I have now:
