Using a VPN with 98

Hi,

I would like to be able to connect to a LAN using VPN. The VPN is set up and
works well with XP machines, and I can also connect using 98. However, with
XP I have the option to log on using dial-up networking, and connect to the
LAN via VPN and get authenticated on the (NT) domain, and its just like
being on the LAN.
I haven't seen how to enable this option on W98. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance,

SW

To be honest with you, Windows 98 was never designed with VPN out of the box
as this was unheard of when 98 was released.

My suggestion would be to get a VPN PPTP client from a 3rd party and try to
connect via this method.

Can you not upgrade your other machines to XP?

Yes, I could upgrade the 98 machines, but would prefer to keep them going
for a litle while longer.
Another way of tackling this would be as you say to use a 3rd party client,
I'll look into that - have you any recommendations?
Another method I've been told about but not used is a dedicated vpn router
that stays open all the time connected to the other LAN, and the users then
don't notice anything different, thye just have access to what they need.
