Summary: would like to be able to dial into NT RAS service w/ FreeBSD

This may not be the group to post this in, but we have an NT 4.0 workstation
at work that has a modem and is set up for RAS dial in.  I'd like to be
able to dial this up with FreeBSD or Linux from home and use it as a PPP
server.  I can dial in with Windows 95, but when I try with *N*X, I get a
connection, but never any kind of login prompt.  I'm using minicom to dial
in.  Is it possible to do what I want ?  I assume MS has some kind of 
private authentication scheme ?
