98SE, 2000, and ME include support in the Windows setup or automatically install PPTP. For 95,

Sample instructions for PPTP (VPN) installation and client setup -
Windows 98SE
If the VPN (PPTP) support is installed, select 'Dial-up Networking' and 'Create a new connection'.
The option to create a 'VPN' should be selected. If there is no 'VPN' options, then follow the
installation instructions below. When asked for the 'Host name or IP address of the VPN server',
type the IP address of the router. Double-click on the 'new' icon and type the correct user name and
password (must also be in the user database on the router or RADIUS server used for
authentication).
The setup of the connections takes nine seconds after selection the 'connect' button. It is suggested
that the connection properties be edited so that 'NetBEUI', 'IPX/SPX compatible', and 'Log on to
network' are unselected. The setup time for the connection will then be two seconds after the
'connect' button is selected.
To install the 'Virtual Private Networking' support for Windows 98SE, go to the 'Setting' menu from
the main 'Start' menu. Select 'Control Panel', select 'Add/Remove Program', select the 'Windows
setup' tab, select the 'Communications' software for installation and 'Details'. Go to the bottom of
the list of software and select 'Virtual Private Networking' to be installed.
