People would like to get serial cable connectivity working with Windows XP.

This may not mean DCC necessarily if there is some other alternative.

Support for MS-CHAPv2 in the PPP link layers may be required.

MS-CHAPv2 uses MD2. Mike Stevens has provided GPL ported code to provide MD2 implementation on the IIgs. Thank you Mike. This has been passed to Geoff Weiss for possible incorporation into Hashtool.

Actually, MS-CHAPv2 uses SHA-1, not MD-2.
Mike has also provided ported code for SHA-1.
Geoff has rolled MD-2 and SHA-1 into Hashtool v1.03
I have implemented the first stages of MS-CHAPv2 support.
Next step is to start testing.
