Yes, the 30xx can't simulataneously do NT Domain
authentication and PPTP encryption (as PPTP encryption
initial vectors are apparently 'seeded' using the string
corresponding to the user's password -- the Cisco VPN
needs to 'know' the user's password in order to do PPTP
encryption).

You need to use RADIUS authentication from the 30xx
to a NT domain controller running the Microsoft
RADIUS server (or Windows 2000 AD server running
the Microsoft IAS -- Internet Authentication Server --
version RADIUS server).  

This supports authentication against the users/passwords
in an NT/W2K domain using RADIUS extensions for MSCHAPv1
and MSCHAPv2 -- apparently in a mode which passes back
the 'hash' necessary as the initialization vector for PPTP
encryption...
