Absolutely untrue.  You don't need Client for Microsoft Networks installed
to make this work.  It works fine for PPP.  The passwords are not saved 
because you haven't enabled user profiles.  Windows isn't allowing you
dialup access that's password protected because it hasn't associated these
passwords with a user profile.

Do the following:

1. 	Open the Control Panel.

2.	Open Passwords.

3.	Click on User Profiles

4.	Select the second radio button, which says "Users can..."

5.	Check the two checkboxes

6.	Restart Windows.

7.	Login  -- you don't need to assign a password other than "",
	you just need to identify yourself so it will use your
	user profile.

8.	Select Dial-up networking and open the connection profile, type
	the password, select "Save Password.." and connect -- you must
	make a succesful connection in order for it to be saved.

9.	If you quit windows and start up again, when you start as the
	same user, your connection profiles will be saved along with
	the password.
