If it's anything like the slow login issue in NT4, it's going to be related to the number of re-tries 95 makes to get MS-STAC compression on the link. Assuming this, 95 asks, the Max denies - and this goes round in a loop until maximum retries on the 95 client are hit, at which point 95 gives up and goes onto IPCP. I don't really see how Ascend can work around this, unless there is some way of the Max saying "Sod off, I do not support MS-CHAP, don't ask me again" to the 95 box, it will keep trying. Just get them to switch it off.
