will vpn work over a 56k modem connection?

Am using the Greenbow VPN client to establish a vpn connection on a win98
system. It works fine over a broadband cable connection, however, I'm
having difficulty connecting the same system with a 56k dial up internet
connection. Once the system connects to the web over the phone line, I
launch the Greenbow VPN client, however it doesn't make any attempt to
establish the vpn tunnel. Does vpn even work over phone line internet
connections? Thanks in advance for any tips and advice.

Yes. VPN works over dialup. I guarantee it.

Are you using a proxy server in your dial-up settings?
If so, do you need it? Try disabling it?
If not, do you need it? Try enabling it?

Do you have a firewall enabled? Try disabling it for a moment,
just to see if that is the problem, or configure it to allow
the connection to the VPN service provider?

Do you have the VPN instructions? Have you checked them
to see that you have everything configured properly?
