In theory there could be any of the combinations used out there, but practically mschap-v1 shouldn't be used anymore. It was introduced in Win2k and added to win98 for its VPN and adds mutual authentication between both peers and authenticator-controlled password changes. MPPC is optional for compression, MPPE "optional" for encryption, but there shouldn't be a VPN without encryption - right?! MPPC and MPPE are already switchable from the vpn configuration in nm-applet, but I don't know how to add a toggle for mschap v1/v2. There should also be an option for MPPE stateless or statefull, I think.
