[ale] ISP for windows connections

I guess it's a testimony to my disuse of windows, but I can't get a
win98 box to dialin to a linux ppp server and connect. My linux box does
it just fine, thank you. 

It seems to not be sending the login name at any predictable time.

>From the ppp server log:

Then it drops the connection and resets the modem.
>From the /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.conf:
/AutoPPP/ -     a_ppp   /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.server2
auth -chap +pap login debug

and from /etc/ppp/options.server2:
lock
-detach 
modem
crtscts
proxyarp
asyncmap 0 
ms-dns 207.69.188.185

The linux box connect nicely with a supplied IP address and DNS. The
win98 box croaks gloriously. It will connect to Earthlink with no
problems so I know connections are possible. Clearly Earthlink has a bag
of magic scripts that I don't have.

Anybody know how to do this?
