If you install PPTP on W95 or NT your PPP gets updated with the
encryption capability. It's Microsofts own MPPE encryption, which
depends on their brand of CHAP..... etc. They've extended the
_compression_ control protocol to handle this :-(

The current RFCs for PPP encryption are somewhat limited, you get DES
and triple DES. That's about it.
