It's about 25% Linux, 25% Windows, 25% Android and 25% iOS here, with
some rounding errors at the edges.
I gather the chances of any of those major 4 doing something wrong are
close to zero.
Which then reinforces my view that any "MS-CHAP2-Response is incorrect"
error has to be a wrong password, whether the user believes it or not.
Thanks Alan.
