This is Windows95 trying to negotiate for IPX (Novell) over
PPP. The "PPP" seems to be an intermediate step in the login process;
if you "view ports" with PMConsole and refresh it often enough, you'll
see it pop up before the real username shows up. It might be related
to the LCP negotiations...I'm not sure. But don't worry about it.
