Why do you need to make it appear to be a WinX PC? The only reason that I
could see the necessity is if your RAS server is configured to require
Microsoft encrypted authentication. Clear text authentication and normal
encrypted authentication are specifically intended to deal with non-MS
clients/servers.
Keep in mind, also, that once a RAS connection is established with an NT
system, the sytem makes *no* differentiation between a RAS connection and
a standard LAN connection.
