[pptp-server] PPTP from linux to linux

When I try to logon to the PoPToP server using this command on the client
machine [replaced last 2 octets in message with *]:

'/usr/local/src/pptp-linux-1.0.2/pptp 24.108.**.**'

I get this in return at the client prompt:

# /usr/local/src/pptp-linux-1.0.2/pptp 24.108.**.**
warn[open_unixsock:pptp_callmgr.c:308]: Call manager for 24.108.**.** is
already running.
fatal[callmgr_main:pptp_callmgr.c:124]: Could not open unix socket for
24.108.**.**
fatal[launch_callmgr:pptp.c:213]: Call manager exited with error 256
[root at CS592711-A /etc/ppp]
#         

And when I look in the server log I have these entries [once more
blocking the last 2 octets just for this message]:


Oct 5 12:08:39 toybox pptpd[1641]: CTRL: Client 24.65.***.*** control
connection started 
Oct 5 12:08:39 toybox pptpd[1641]: CTRL: EOF or bad error reading ctrl
packet length. 
Oct 5 12:08:39 toybox pptpd[1641]: CTRL: couldn't read packet header
(exit) 
Oct 5 12:08:39 toybox pptpd[1641]: CTRL: CTRL read failed
Oct 5 12:08:39 toybox pptpd[1641]: CTRL: Client 24.65.***.*** control
connection finished

Can anyone help me figure out what is going on and how to fix the
problem.

Thanks 
Jim
