Configuring Windows 98 for VPN

Note: Make sure that you have upgraded your "Dial Up Networking" to V 1.4 before you proceed. Microsoft VPN needs components in DUN 1.4 even if you do not use dial-up. Please refer to http://www.microsoft.com .

Note: If you're unable to connect using the following instructions, please try the Nortel Contivity client instead.
