Daniel, You should also take a look at pptp-client.sourceforge.net. It has a lot of information regarding the PPTP subject. I have had to implement several PPTP servers and clients in Linux.

You have to do small things like recompile the kernel, etc. Gary Smith > > Hmmm, I would advise anyone to move away from PPTP in particular and > from Windows in general.
