I've been told by a few people that it's possible. You can
sure that either PAP or CHAP is necessary, although I don't
recall which. Experiment with that part.
The part that stumped people was that you had to add something
like "msn/" to your login name. It would end up looking like
msn/username@domain.com. I'm not sure if 'msn' has to be
capitalized, for instance, or if the slash is reversed, etc,
etc. Again, experimentation may be needed.
