We have 2 pm2eR with comos 3.3.2 and when some custumer calls saying that
he can't connect and virus95 is saying: "could not negotiate a comaptible... and
computer you are dialing is not answering..."

We usually resolve the problem checking:

1. Client side: if he as IPX and NETBUI enable... (this resolves the
first warning), if it has disable it.
If he has a Netware driver installed...

2. Radius logs: probably the clients file is wrong... (second
warning from winblows95)

Hope it helps!
