It might help if you said what you are trying to connect to. MSCHAP and
its derivatives are authentication handshake protocols only, they are
not connection protocols.

The Linux PPTP VPN client will certainly offer mschapv2, and has done
so for many years, since PPTP is a proprietary Microsoft protocol.
Network manager will allow this to be configured by GUI, if you have
the pptp plugin installed. MPPE 128 bit encryption has been in the
kernel since about 2.6.15, I think.

If it is a PPTP VPN you wish to use, don't forget to allow IP
*protocol* (not TCP or UDP port) 47 outbound from your network, as well
as TCP port 1723.
