W95 DUN and PM-3's

Since upgrading to PM-3's, the number of W95 users complaining of "could
not negotiate a compatibile protocol" messages has escalated. Folks dialing
into my old, trusty, PM-2's never have a problem. They switch to the PM-3,
and they immediately have this problem. Is there something new on the PM-3
that really, really wants to run IPX???? Is there a way to turn it off? Any
other ideas?

PS -- Yes, we have each uyser that calls disable IPX/SPX and NetBEUI in the
dial-up adapter. Usually this helps, but not everytime. We then have them
delete everything but TCP/IP and the dial-up adapter from the network
control panel. Again, usually this catches it, but still not everytime.
