The VPN client bundled in Windows 98 and ME can only support PPTP for encryption in a data tunnel. PPTP only allows data encryption after user authentication. No doubt to say that the security level of PPTP is much worse than L2TP/IPSec.
In Windows XP, Microsoft has made the built-in VPN client capable of supporting both PPTP and L2TP/IPSec. A piece of good work by Microsoft.
