Whenever I dial in to a Netblazer from Linux using ppp, the following
message is created in the Netblazer log:

  userid PPP/Lcp Protocol Reject (IPXCP): please do not use this protocol

I am using Linux 1.0.9 with ppp support.  Everything seems to work just
fine in spite of the message.  The Netblazer software is version 2.1.

My questions for the net are:

1)  What is this message trying to say (other than don't use the
    protocol, of course)?

2)  Is there a work around?

3)  If there is no work around, what are the consequences of ignoring the
    message?

Please note that this message is cross-posted since there are two groups
involved in this topic.  Thanks in advance for any useful information.

Please pardon me if this is a duplicate message.  I'm trying to find a
server/newsreader combo that will actually post something from my site. :^(
