[pptp-server] PPTP with PPPOE

[Gord Belsey]

Spencer:

I just went through this last week!

I found the problem is that PPPOE and PPTPD sure different options in the
ppp options file, and they're not compatible.

What I did was take everything out of options in /etc/ppp.  Then I created
options.pppoe and options.pptp with the appropriate options for each daemon.
When I call the daemons, I include -o /etc/options.pppoe for PPPoE and -o
/etc/ppp/options.pptp.

I also set it up to start on boot.  The key ther is simply to start PPPoE
before PPTPD.  I put scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d that run after the network
script.  (I run at run level 3).

Once I figured out the options file issue.  It was clear sailing.  Once you
get this up and running, I would very much (!!) appreciate your keeping in
touch about issues that come up.  I'm piloting this right now, and it's
working pretty well.  But I'm sure some issues will come up.....I'll do the
same for you:o)

Anyway, I hope this helps.
