Also, verify what version of NT they're running. If they have
upgraded NT 4.0 to Service Patch 2, verify that they have applied the
PPP fix. Stock Service Patch 2 broke some PPP functionality.
Alternately, they can back-step to SP1 if there are no specific fixes
they need in SP2. SP3 should be out soon, and is the first SP to go
through a beta cycle, so it should be very solid.
