[pptp-server] pppd will not connect

[geoff nordli]

But the idea is that people will be connecting to your box (pptp server).  
Not the other way around.

Follow the instructions, and test it by taking a windows box, and 
connecting to the PPTP server.

Pay close attention to the logs in "/var/log/messages" that will tell
you how things are going.

I am trying to set up pptpd as a server for MS boxes.  My understanding
is that as step one, I need to have a working pppd with the patches to
recognize the ms compression and encryption.

This is what I am trying to do right now.  When I get that working I
will start configuring pptpd (which looks pretty easy compared to what
I've run into so far....)
