I'm using the pptp client because I thought I wouldn't have to recompile
the kernel. If I have to recompile the kernel, I'd rather setup pptp
masquerading. Are you sure I need to recompile the kernel to use this?

But I'm not actually dialing in. I'm already connected to the net, and
just want to join this VPN out there

The guy on the other end doesn't know much :) He's not even sure if it's
an NT box, or a cisco using NT authentication. I don't know much either :)
All I can tell you is that this supposedly works out of the box with the
win98 vpn adapter.

No, I'm connected to the net via eth1. I do have an old config setup for
ppp0 which I used to use for dialup - could this be causing problems?

I really want to get this working. I have a 768/768 DSL connection now,
yet I have to dialup at 33.6 to work!!

thanks
