actually the routing depends on the version of NT. with NT 3.5 you have
to set the registry manually, with 3.51 or above you have a check box in
the configuration dialog. search the Knowledge base for routing tcp over
ras (i think it's article Q111877, but not sure), how to configure
server and client for proper routing entries.
