more EAP/TTLS trouble

The reasons you stated are why I think this is near impossible. Our
passwords are stored with md5... I'm not fond of the idea that in
order to get this to work, we have to compromise our security policy.

As for the Windows salesman, leaving out features from one OS to sell
a newer OS is one of the reasons I cannot stand your company. That
said, Windows 7 is great in my opinion, like Windows XP. If you really
care, put pressure on your higher ups to extend the functionality to
support things like EAP/TTLS and PAP. I'm sure there's other
deficiencies.. How is it right to sell "ultimate" versions of an OS
for $150-200 when they dont even support as many features as a free,
open source system?

I just got into work, so I'll be looking over the suggestions and
making more attempts at this. Thanks again for all the help!
