[pptp-server] PPTP with PPPOE

Spencer:

One more thing.  I came accross a problem with routing over PPPoE.  It sets
the default route to the PPPx IP at\ddress (standard linux thing).  However,
I couldn't get traffic accross the link.  I found that if I deleted the
PPPoE inserted route, and added a default route through the OTHER end of the
link, it worked fine (that's how CSICO routers do it).

I'm still working on this one.  I have defaultroute in my options.pppoe.
I'm going to try removing it to see what happens.
