PPP negotiation usually happens in 3 parts.
1) Line Control Protocol (LCP)
2) Authentication (PAP or CHAP)
3) Network Control Protocols (NCPs)
- IPCP
- IPXCP
- etc.

It sounds like the NT workstation didn't try to negotiate and NCPs.

On your PortMaster set up a debug to watch the PPP negotiation.

set console
set debug 0x51

There is a decoder tool on Livingston's web site.
